Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-24-00127-CR
JERRY DON ELDERS, Appellant v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 413th District Court Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. DC-F202100474
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We received from the Johnson County District Clerk the notice of appeal of the
capital murder conviction of Jerry Don Elders for which the death penalty was imposed.
By letter dated May 7, 2024, the Clerk of this Court notified Elders that his appeal was
subject to dismissal because, as a court of appeals, we have no jurisdiction of an appeal
from a case in which the death penalty has been assessed. See TEX. CONST. ART. V, § 5(b).
By the same letter, Elders was warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless, within
10 days from the date of the letter, Elders filed a response with the Court showing grounds for continuing the appeal. More than 10 days have passed, and Elders has not
filed a response.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3.
