Opinion

NUMBER 13-13-00142-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ DEBRA JALUFKA, Appellant, v. JLJ, INC.,/J4 OILFIELD SERVICE, 4 JLJ, INC., AND JOHN JALUFKA, Appellees. ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 94th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam Appellant, Debra Jalufka attempted to perfect an appeal from an order signed on January 25, 2013, in cause no. 2012-DCV-2686-C. Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that the order attempting to be appealed is not appealable.

On April 9, 2013, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 42.3.

Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of the notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice.

Appellant is attempting to appeal an “Order Denying Plaintiff’s Motion to Vacate Summary Judgment, Re-schedule Summary Judgment Hearing and/or Reinstate Case.”

In terms of appellate jurisdiction, appellate courts only have jurisdiction to review final judgments and certain interlocutory orders identified by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001).

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to correct the defect in this matter, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c).

PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 9th day of May, 2013.
