APPELLANT

V.

§ JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF

RONNY BROWNLOW, SHERIFF,

HENDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS,

APPELLEE

§ HENDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM

This pro se in forma pauperis appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). The judgment in this case was signed on May 2, 2008. On May 12, 2008, Appellant filed a notice of appeal that failed to contain the information required by Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.5 and 25.1(e), i.e., a certificate of service showing service on all parties to the trial court's judgment.

On May 20, 2008, Appellant was notified pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 37.1 that the notice of appeal was defective for failure to comply with Rules 9.5 and 25.1(e). He was further notified that unless he filed an amended notice of appeal on or before June 19, 2008, the appeal would be referred to the court for dismissal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). The deadline for filing an amended notice of appeal has passed, and Appellant failed to respond to our notice or correct his defective notice of appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c); Feist v. Berg, No. 12-04-00004-CV, 2004 WL 252785, at *1 (Tex. App.-Tyler Feb. 11, 2004, pet. denied); Feist v. Hubert, No. 12-03-00442-CV, 2004 WL 252285, at *1 (Tex. App.-Tyler Feb. 11, 2004, pet. denied).
