Appellant appeals from a judgment rendered against him in the county court for $172. The suit originated in the justice court. The record contains no transcript from the justice court showing the rendition of any judgment in that court.

In this condition of the record this court has no jurisdiction as was held in Wells v. Driskell, 105 Tex. 77, 145 S. W. 333, and many other cases to the same effect some of which are hereinafter cited. Just before the submission of the case in this court, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal because of the insufficiency of the transcript in the particular noted — citing Wells v. Driskell. To this motion appellant has filed a reply, but has made no effort to supply the deficiency.

Dismissal of the appeal, however, is not the proper order to be made by this court. The proper, disposition is to reverse and remand with instructions to the court below to dismiss, unless it be made to appear that its appellate jurisdiction has been properly invoked. Perry v. Greer (Tex. Civ. App.) 223 S. W. 714; s. c., 110 Tex. 549, 221 S. W. 931; Fruit Dispatch Co. v. Rainey, 111 Tex. 266, 232 S. W. 281; Johnson v. Gibson Bros. (Tex. Civ. App.) 240 S. W. 667.

Appellee, prior to the submission, had full notice of the condition of the record as evidenced by his motion to dismiss. There is thus no occasion for this court to afford him any further opportunity to perfect the record and supply anything improperly omitted therefrom. Having this notice, he should, if it could be done, have perfected the record by showing that the county court properly acquired jurisdiction.

Since both parties had notice of the condi *248 tion of tlie transcript, and nfeither have offered to porrect the defect nor request further time in which to do so, “we are authorized to assume that the parties either cannot, or care not, to have the record corrected, and that we should proceed to a determination of the appeal.” Perry v. Greer (Tex. Civ. App.) 223 S. W. 714; Johnson v. Gibson Bros., supra.

Reversed and remanded, with instructions as indicated.
