IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-08-00272-CV TAURUS BROWN, Appellant v. GENNIE JONES, Appellee

From the County Court Walker County, Texas Trial Court No. 108S1268

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Taurus Brown brings this restricted direct appeal from the Walker County justice court’s dismissal of his civil suit. We notified Brown that this cause was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction, and we requested but did not receive a timely response from Brown showing grounds for continuing the appeal.

We plainly lack jurisdiction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.001 (Vernon 2008) (providing for appeal from justice court to county or district court); Texas Elevator Co. v. Concord Elevator Co., 982 S.W.2d 578 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.).

This appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).

PER CURIAM Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Vance, and Justice Reyna Appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed October 29, 2008 [CV06]
