DISMISS and Opinion Filed December 3, 2021
S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00858-CV
BYRON HUTCHINGS, ANITA HUTCHINGS, HAYLEY HUTCHINGS, AND HUNTER HUTCHINGS, Appellants V. MELROSE ACQUISITION, L.L.C., A SUBSIDIARY OF MAXUS PROPERTIES, L.L.C., Appellee
On Appeal from the Justice Court Precinct 3, Place 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. JE-19-0002N
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Goldstein, and Smith Opinion by Justice Goldstein In their notice of appeal, appellants state they are appealing from the justice
court’s failure to issue an order. In a related appeal, appellate cause number 05-21-
00857-CV, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal that also arose from
justice court. As requested, appellants filed a letter brief in that appeal and filed it
in this appeal as well. Accordingly, we address our jurisdiction over this appeal.
A court of appeals lacks jurisdiction over direct appeals from a justice court.
See Ortiz v. Scott, No. 07-05-0378-CV, 2005 WL 2777371, at *1 (Tex. App.—
Amarillo Oct. 26, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.). Nothing in appellants’ letter brief supports a contrary conclusion. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
