MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Garza

Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, ROBERT ZUNIGA, attempted to perfect an appeal from the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause no. C-490-03-D. The appellant’s notice of appeal was received on January 5, 2004.

         Upon review of the notice of appeal and documents received from the district clerk, it appeared that no appealable order had been entered in this cause. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given 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 receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. By response dated January 21, 2004, appellant advised this Court that no appealable order or judgment had been entered in this cause.

         The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s response to this Court’s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
