Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-12-00752-CV

Nicolas Dominic Taboada, Appellant v. Austin Police Department and Southside Wrecker, Inc., Appellees

FROM THE JUSTICE COURT PRECINCT 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. J-4-JC-12-002182, HONORABLE RAÙL ARTURO GONZÁLEZ, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant filed a notice of appeal in this Court, complaining of a judgment signed by the justice court. However, this Court lacks jurisdiction over justice-court judgments. That jurisdiction lies in the county or district court. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.001; see also id. § 51.012 (person may appeal from district or county court to court of appeals). We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.1 Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

We have forwarded a copy of the notice of appeal to the county court.
