Opinion

Appellant, AMADO BARRON ESTRADA, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas, in cause no. B-02-1276-CV-B. The clerk's record was received on December 30, 2003.

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 for want of jurisdiction. Appellant was granted an extension of time to respond to this Court's notice; however, to date, appellant has 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 11th day of March, 2004.
