J. H., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee (2017)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

J. H., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

NO. 03-17-00540-CV

Decided: September 15, 2017

Before Justices Puryear, Field, and Bourland

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant J.H.'s notice of appeal was filed in this Court on August 11, 2017. On September 1, we notified appellant that after initial review it appeared that his notice of appeal was mistakenly filed in this Court because a letter from the District Clerk of Comal County informed us that the document was actually a “Request for De Novo Hearing” and was filed in this Court in error. See Tex. R. App. P. 27. In our letter to appellant, we asked him to respond no later than September 11, and to explain whether this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. To date, we have not received any response from appellant. Accordingly, we dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction. See id. R. 42.3(a).

Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
