RAFAEL VILLEGAS, Appellant V. PATRICIA VARGAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Cherokee County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CV 9318

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Nowell, and Kennedy Opinion by Justice Kennedy The underlying lawsuit is from Cherokee County. This Court has jurisdiction

of all civil cases within its district. See TEX. GOV. CODE ANN. § 22.220(a). The

counties within the Court’s district include Collin, Dallas, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman,

and Rockwall. See id. § 22.201(f). Because Cherokee County is within the Twelfth

Court of Appeals’ district, see id. § 22.201(m), we questioned our jurisdiction over

this appeal. In response, appellant filed a letter acknowledging we lack jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
