RALPH PADRON AND ALL OCCUPANTS, Appellants,

v.

MARIA E. CHAPA, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________

On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5 of Nueces County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Silva Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa

This cause is before the Court on its own motion. On July 11, 2022, appellant filed

a notice attempting to appeal the trial court’s judgment, signed on June 7, 2022. We now

dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

On July 13, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the appeal has not

been timely perfected, so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the

date of the Court’s letter, the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to cure the

defect and failed to respond to this Court’s notices.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and

appellant’s failure to timely perfect his appeal, is of the opinion that the appeal should be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed for want of

jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a)(c).

LETICIA HINOJOSA Justice

Delivered and filed on the 18th day of August, 2022.
