Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 26, 2015.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-15-00097-CV ANTONIO BERMUDEZ, JR., Appellant V. JUANA ZAPATA, Appellee On Appeal from the 246th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2014-57232 MEMORANDUM OPINION On January 28, 2015, appellant, an inmate appearing pro se, filed a notice of appeal from an order signed November 7, 2014, denying his motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the court below. The Harris County District Clerk’s office advised this court that no final judgment has been signed by the trial court. We lack jurisdiction over an appeal from the denial of indigence before a final judgment is signed. See Kossie v. Smith, No. 01-08-00065-CV, 2009 WL 618465, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Mar. 9, 2009, no pet.) (mem. op.); Kilsby v. Mid–Century Ins. Co., No. 14–07–00981–CV, 2008 WL 889428 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] Apr. 3, 2008, no pet.) (mem.op.).

In addition, appellant has not complied with section 14.004 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which governs inmate litigation. See Douglas v. Moffett, 418 S.W.3d 336, 339 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2013, no pet) (citing Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 14.004 (West 2013)). An appeal must be dismissed when an inmate claiming indigence has not complied with section 14.004. Id. at 341.

Because it appeared that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, the court notified appellant that the appeal would be dismissed unless appellant filed a response demonstrating that this court has jurisdiction over the appeal and that he has complied with the requirements of section 14.004 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. To date, more than thirty days have passed and appellant has filed no response to this court’s notice.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and McCally.
