Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-26-00044-CV

Jayson PERRYMAN, Appellant

v.

Jung WILLIAMS, Appellee

From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-CV-10459 Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 18, 2026

APPEAL DISMISSED

This is an appeal in a forcible detainer case. Jurisdiction of forcible detainer actions is

expressly given to the justice court of the precinct where the property is located, and, on appeal,

to county courts for a trial de novo. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 27.031; TEX. R. CIV. P. 510.9; see

also Rice v. Pinney, 51 S.W.3d 705, 708 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2001, no pet.). The record before this

court fails to show an appeal and a final judgment from the county court. See Benavides v. Deiter,

No. 04-25-00367-CV, 2025 WL 1911713, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 9, 2025, no pet.) 04-26-00044-CV

(mem. op.) (“The appropriate manner for Appellants to challenge the validity of the justice court’s

judgment is to appeal the judgment to the county court.”); TEX. R. CIV. P. 510.9.

Because we question our jurisdiction over this matter, we ordered appellant to show cause

no later than February 2, 2026, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

We cautioned appellant that this appeal would be dismissed if he failed to respond to our order.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.

Appellant did not respond to our order, and the record does not show we have jurisdiction

over this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
