TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF                                                      APPELLEES

CRIMINAL JUSTICE, ET AL.

                                              ------------

             FROM THE 30TH DISTRICT COURT OF WICHITA COUNTY

                                              ------------

                                MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                              ------------

Appellant Charles Young appears to be attempting to appeal the trial court=s failure to transfer a case from one district court to another.  The trial court clerk has informed this court that there is no signed order regarding a request for transfer of the case to another district court.

On May 2, 2006, we notified appellant of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because no order or judgment had been signed^[2] and informed him that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  Although appellant has responded to our May 2 jurisdiction letter, his response does not state grounds for continuing the appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.^[3]

PER CURIAM
