the Ninth Court of Appeals and then transferred to us under a transfer order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. Subsequently, a judgment nunc pro tunc was filed in both causes attempting to vacate the judgment in cause number 6354 and enter judgment in cause number 6357. Notice of appeal from that judgment was tendered to us, along with a new filing fee.

      On December 20, 2000, we informed the parties of our concern about jurisdiction over this appeal. Specifically, we raised a question as to whether this court or the Ninth Court of Appeals maintained jurisdiction over this appeal. In response to our letter concerning jurisdiction, the appellant filed a new notice of appeal with the Ninth Court of Appeals. The Ninth Court of Appeals acknowledged the filing of the notice of appeal and docketed the case. They are awaiting the dismissal of our case before proceeding.

      After the new case was filed in the Ninth Court, we sent a letter to the parties stating that the appeal pending before us would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless objections were made. No objections have been made. Thus, this cause is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The record will be forwarded to the Ninth Court of Appeals upon the issuance of our mandate, which shall issue forthwith. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1(c).
