Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-15-00275-CV

BRENT MCLEAN, Appellant v.

CYNTHIA D. TILLEY, ET AL, Appellee

From the County Court Freestone County, Texas Trial Court No. CV5543

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Brent McLean is appealing the trial court’s dismissal of his suit as

frivolous. Appellant sought compensation for damage to his typewriter. Appellant’s

pleadings noted that the value of the typewriter was $225. This Court has no jurisdiction

over an appeal in which the amount in controversy does not exceed $250. See TEX. CIV.

PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.012 (West 2015).

We notified Appellant that his appeal might be dismissed for want of jurisdiction

unless he filed a response within ten days showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant has not responded. This appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
