COSHAWNASY JACKSON, Appellant v. TAVEONCE HOOFMAN, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The notice of appeal in this case recites appeal is from the trial court's April 12, 2016 judgment. The clerk's record does not contain this judgment or any other final judgment or appealable order. By letter dated October 18, 2016, we gave appellant ten days to file a letter brief explaining how the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. See City of Houston v. Estate of Jones, 388 S.W.3d 663, 666 (Tex. 2012) (appellate courts have jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments and certain interlocutory orders). We cautioned appellant that failure to do so could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not filed the letter brief, and the record does not otherwise establish jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); City of Houston, 388 S.W.3d at 666.
