VERNON LUCICH, Appellant,

v.

JAMES AND CHELSEA COOK, Appellees. ____________________________________________________________

On appeal from the 156th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

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

Appellant, Vernon Lucich, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order “rendered

or overruled” by the 156th Judicial District Court of San Patricio County, Texas, in cause

no. S-19-6160CV-B. Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appears there is

no final, appealable order. On November 9, 2021, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant

of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 42.3. 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. Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice. Additionally, District

Court Clerk Tina Roblez informed the Clerk’s office that the trial court does not have any

signed orders or judgments on the date provided within the notice.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to

correct the defect in this matter, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for

want of jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of

jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a),(c).

CLARISSA SILVA Justice

Delivered and filed on the 20th day of January, 2022.
