Lisa M. Brill v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00036-CV Lisa M. BRILL, Appellant v. The STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 83rd Judicial District Court, Val Verde County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024-0149-AG Honorable Robert E. Cadena, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 9, 2025 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION Appellant, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a January 9, 2025 order concerning child support. However, the clerk’s record contains no appealable order.

Generally, unless authorized by statute, “an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment.” Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). The appellate record does not contain a signed, written judgment. See Farmer v. Ben E. Keith Co., 907 S.W.2d 495, 496 (Tex. 1995) (“The appellate timetable does not commence to run other than by a signed, written 04-25-00036-CV

order, even when the signing of such an order is purely ministerial”) (emphasis in original); TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1.

On January 31, 2025, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant’s response was due February 28, 2025.

Appellant did not timely respond or otherwise explain how this court has appellate jurisdiction.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3; Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d at 195; Ben E. Keith Co., 907 S.W.2d at 496.
