Nicolas Dominic Taboada, Appellant v. Austin Police Department and Southside Wrecker, Inc., Appellees (2013)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

Nicolas Dominic Taboada, Appellant v. Austin Police Department and Southside Wrecker, Inc., Appellees

NO. 03–12–00752–CV

Decided: August 16, 2013

Before Justices Puryear, Rose and Goodwin

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant filed a notice of appeal in this Court, complaining of a judgment signed by the justice court. However, this Court lacks jurisdiction over justice-court judgments. That jurisdiction lies in the county or district court. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code § 51.001; see also id. § 51.012 (person may appeal from district or county court to court of appeals). We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.¹ Tex.R.App. P. 42.3(a).
