DAVID M. BRANUM APPELLANT V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

FROM THE 297TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

------------

Appellant David M. Branum attempts to appeal the trial court’s order that voids ab initio the judgment revoking his community supervision. On April 11, 2012, we sent Branum a letter stating our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because the order voiding the judgment did not appear to be appealable. See McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

1996, no pet.); see also Saliba v. State, 45 S.W.3d 329, 329 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2001, no pet.). We instructed Branum or any party desiring to continue the appeal to file a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal or the appeal would be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Branum filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
