Tracy Nixon, Appellant v. Attorney General of the State of Texas, Appellee (2011)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Tracy Nixon attempted to appeal from the district court's September 12, 2011 denial of a default judgment against the Attorney General of the State of Texas.   The district clerk's file does not contain the complained-of order or judgment.   We may not exercise appellate jurisdiction without a final judgment or otherwise appealable order.   See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014 (West 2008);  Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex.2001).

On October 21, 2011, this Court requested that Nixon file a written response demonstrating this Court's jurisdiction over the appeal.   Nixon's filed response failed to do so.   Thus, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.   See Tex.R.App. P. 42.3(a).
