No. 07-25-00351-CV

DAVOUD DAVOODNIA, APPELLANT

V.

TRUCK REPAIR, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 320th District Court Potter County, Texas Trial Court No. 112097-D-CV, Honorable Steven Denny, Presiding

December 15, 2025 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before PARKER and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

Appellant, Davoud Davoodnia, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal on

November 18, 2025, without identifying the judgment or order being appealed. The trial

court clerk subsequently notified the Court that no judgment or appealable order has been

issued in this case. Generally, appellate courts have jurisdiction to review only final

judgments or interlocutory orders made immediately appealable by statute. See

Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Stary v. DeBord, 967

S.W.2d 352, 352–53 (Tex. 1998) (per curiam). Accordingly, by letter of November 20, 2025, we directed Appellant directed to show how we have jurisdiction over this appeal

by December 1, 2025. Appellant has not filed a response or had any further

communication with this Court to date.

Appellant also failed to pay the required filing fee upon filing his notice of appeal.

By letter of November 19, 2025, we notified Appellant that unless he was excused from

paying court costs under Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, failure to pay the filing fee by

December 1, 2025, would result in dismissal of the appeal. Appellant has yet to pay the

filing fee or seek leave to proceed without payment of court costs.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction and because Appellant

has failed to pay the requisite filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c).
