DISMISS and Opinion Filed March 23, 2020

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-01185-CV PAMELA NESBIT, Appellant V. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., AS TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF THE REGISTERED HOLDERS OF FIRST FRANKLIN MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST, MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2004- FF8, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-19-02580-D MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Whitehill, and Justice Molberg Opinion by Chief Justice Burns The complained-of order in this appeal was vacated after the appeal was filed.

Because it appeared the appeal had become moot as a result, we directed the parties to file letter briefs addressing our jurisdiction. See Matthews v. Kountze Indep. Sch.

Dist., 484 S.W.3d 416, 418 (Tex. 2016) (“The mootness doctrine applies to cases in which a justiciable controversy exists between the parties at the time the case arose, but the live controversy ceases because of subsequent events.”); See Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v. Jones, 1 S.W.3d 83, 86 (Tex. 1999) (“Appellate courts are prohibited from deciding moot controversies.”). Although appellant complied, nothing in her letter brief demonstrates our jurisdiction.1 Accordingly, because no controversy appears to exist between the parties, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Matthews, 484 S.W.3d at 418; Jones, 1 S.W.3d at 86.
