NGOCDUNG THI BUI, LE VAN NGUYEN, THE STATE OF TEXAS, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS, CHILD SUPPORT DIVISION AND TAX ASSESSOR & COLLECTOR OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE FOLLOWING TAXING JURISDICTIONS: HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, PORT OF HOUSTON AUTHORITY, HARRIS COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT, HARRIS COUNTY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM, CITY OF HOUSTON, AND GREATER EAST END MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, Appellants v. METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an attempted appeal from a special commissioners' award in a condemnation case. The record reflects that appellants filed notice of appeal to the County Court at Law on December 4, 2009. If either party timely files an objection to the commissioners' award, the county court is invested with jurisdiction of the subject matter of the case, not the court of appeals. See Denton County v. Brammer, 361 S.W.2d 198, 200 (Tex.1962); see also Tex. Prop.Code Ann. § 21.018 (Vernon 2004) (providing party to condemnation proceeding may file objections in court that has jurisdiction, which shall cite adverse party and try case in same manner as other civil causes).
On January 5, 2010, notification was transmitted to the parties of this court's intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant filed a response demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal on or before January 19, 2010. See Tex. R.App. P. 42.3(a).
Appellants filed no response.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
