IN THE INTEREST OF D.J.L. AND J.J.W., CHILDREN

On Appeal from the 304th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. JC-18-00535-W

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal

because it contained an order transferring this case to Bexar County. We instructed appellant to

file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue and cautioned her that failure to do so may

result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed

a letter brief.

This Court has jurisdiction of all civil cases “within its district.” Tex. Gov’t Code Ann.

§ 22.220(a) (West Supp. 2017). Bexar County district courts are not within this Court’s district.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
