Reginald Holmes

Appellant

Vs.                   No. 11-03-00275-CV B Appeal from Dawson County

TDCJ-ID Correctional Officers Anderson, A.; Hudspeth, M.; and Guyer, C.

Appellees

Reginald Holmes is appealing the dismissal of his suit by the justice of the peace.  The clerk of this court informed appellant in writing on September 5, 2003, that it appeared this court did not have jurisdiction over his appeal.  Appellant was requested to respond showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  Appellant was also directed to pay the required filing fee.  The only response to our September 5 letter has been the filing of an affidavit of inability to pay.  The affidavit does not comply with the requirements of TEX.R.APP.P. 20.1 and does not address the jurisdictional issues.

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. ' 51.001 (Vernon 1997).
