SAVANNAH ROBINSON, Appellant,

v.

JOSE R. CARRERAS, M.D., Appellee. ____________________________________________________________

On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6 of Hidalgo County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Vela, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Savannah Robinson, attempts to appeal a judgment entered on May

25, 2011. On July 7, 2011, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the notice of

appeal bears the incorrect cause number, 07-2834-F, and that the correct cause number

is CL-07-2834-F. 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 proper notice of appeal was not filed in the trial court within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the

matter would be referred to the trial court for further action. On September 20, 2011, this

Court notified appellant that the Court had not received a response to the July 7, 2011,

letter. Appellant was advised that the notice of appeal bears the incorrect cause number

and that failure to cure the defect within ten days would result in the appeal being

dismissed. No response has been received from appellant.

Appellant has failed to amend the notice of appeal within the time prescribed by

this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(f), 37.1. Additionally, appellant has failed to

comply with a requirement of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and a notice from

the Clerk of the Court. See id. 42.3(c). The Court, having examined and fully

considered the documents on file, 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 id. 42.3(a), (c).

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 3rd day of November, 2011.
