No. 04-22-00194-CV

Jerry A. GUZZETTA (“Guzzetta”), Appellant

v.

BRIMHALL LQ, LLC d/b/a La Quinta Hotel, Appellee

From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-CI-14775 Honorable John D. Gabriel Jr., Judge Presiding

ORDER This is an appeal from the trial court’s order granting payment to attorney Patrick Stolmeier. The trial court signed the order on January 7, 2022. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on April 5, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a)(1). In reviewing the documents submitted by Appellant, we have not seen evidence of a timely filed motion for new trial. Contra Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(a). Appellant has now filed a motion to abate his appeal. But we see no documentation that shows this court has jurisdiction over the matter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a)(1); Jing v. Nan Luo, 358 S.W.3d 868 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.); Ontiveros v. Oncor Elec. Delivery, No. 05-14-01619-CV, 2015 WL 3751387, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 16, 2015, no pet.) (mem. op.). We order Appellant to show cause in writing within ten days of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a), 42.3(a). If Appellant fails to show cause as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed without further notice. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), (c). All other appellate deadlines are suspended pending further order of this court. _________________________________ Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
