The Court’s records indicate that your notice of appeal from the underlying Final

TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a) (requiring notice of appeal to be filed within thirty days after

request for findings of fact and conclusions of law to be filed within twenty days after
judgment is signed). Accordingly, the Court has directed me to notify you that the Court
may dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction unless you file a written response to this
notice, providing a detailed explanation, citing relevant portions of the record, statutes,
rules, and case law to show that this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(a).
Any response must be filed within 14 days of the date of this notice. You must
respond in writing even if you have previously claimed your notice of appeal was timely
filed.
If a meritorious response is not received in the form described above by the
deadline, the Court may dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction without further notice.
