TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-21-00603-CV
Robert Norton, Appellant
v.
Cam Tu Phan, Appellee
FROM THE 368TH DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 20-1075-C368, THE HONORABLE RICK J. KENNON, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On November 24, 2021, appellant Robert Norton filed a notice of appeal from the
trial court’s November 19, 2021 order granting a temporary injunction. The Court has been
notified by supplemental clerk’s record that the trial court signed a “Final Judgment and
Permanent Injunction” on December 17, 2021. Accordingly, appellant’s accelerated appeal from
the trial court’s interlocutory order granting a temporary injunction is now moot. See Isuani
v. Manske-Sheffield Radiology Group, P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991) (“If, while on the
appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial court renders final
judgment, the case on appeal becomes moot.”). We are required to set aside all previous orders
pertaining to the temporary injunction and dismiss the appeal from the temporary injunction after
it has been rendered moot by a final judgment “to prevent premature review of the merits of
the case.” Id.
After an initial review, the Clerk of this Court sent appellant a letter informing
him that the Court appears to lack jurisdiction over the appeal for the reasons stated above and
requesting a response informing us of any basis that exists for jurisdiction. To date, no response
has been filed. Accordingly, we set aside our previous order staying the temporary injunction,
and we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
