Appellant, DONALD RAY McCRAY, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the 343rd District Court of San Patricio County, Texas, in cause number S-06-5384-CV-C.

Upon review of the documents received in this cause, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order. Additionally, it appeared that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of these defects was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defects, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defects were not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 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.
