MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

Appellant, Ruben P. Bahena, attempted to perfect an appeal from a notice of non- suit entered by the 214th District Court in Nueces County, Texas, in cause no. 2015-FAM- 2130-F. Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order. 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 this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice.

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. See id. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a),(c).

NORA L. LONGORIA Justice Delivered and filed on the

14th day of October, 2021.
