Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00871-CV Alonzo Foster BALL Jr., Appellant v. LaVaughn LEWIS, Appellee From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-CI-05112 Honorable Janet P. Littlejohn, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 2, 2014 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION Appellant Alonzo Foster Ball Jr., acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal. He complains that the trial court improperly denied his wife’s motion to dismiss a family violence protective order.

See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 85.001 (West 2014). Because Appellant filed an untimely affidavit of indigence, we abated this appeal and remanded the cause to the trial court to determine whether Appellant is indigent and his appeal is frivolous. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(c), (e), (h). In response, the trial court held a hearing and vacated its earlier protective order.

04-13-00871-CV

On March 7, 2014, because it then appeared there was not a final, appealable order, we ordered Appellant to show cause in writing not later than March 17, 2014, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (noting that generally “an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment”). We warned Appellant that if he failed to timely show cause why this court has jurisdiction over this appeal, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195. To date, Appellant has filed no response.

Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195.
