MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Rodriguez, and Castillo

Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, JESUS VEGA, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause no. C-1732-03-D. The clerk’s record was received on April 7, 2004.

         Upon review of the clerk’s record, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant failed to file a response as requested by this Court’s notice.

         The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to respond to this Court’s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

                                                               PER CURIAM

Opinion delivered and filed this

the 20^th day of May, 2004.
