Elfreda Cherie Allen v. CitiMortgage, Inc. ( 2013 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00731-CV
Elfreda Cherie Allen, Appellant
v.
CitiMortgage, Inc., Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY, 236TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 236-244370-10, HONORABLE TOM LOWE, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Elfreda Cherie Allen filed a notice of appeal in October 2013. She
stated that she was appealing a “memorandum opinion and judgment on contest for
affidavit of inability to pay costs.” She attached a copy of a memorandum opinion and judgment
issued by the Fort Worth Court of Appeals. See Allen v. CitiMortgage, No. 02-13-00027-CV,
2013 Tex. App. LEXIS 8918 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth July 18, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.) (noting that
appellant failed to pay filing fee and dismissing appeal for failure to comply with a requirement of
rules of appellate procedure and a supreme court order).
On November 6, 2013, the Clerk of this Court requested a response from Allen by
November 18, 2013. The Clerk advised Allen that she must inform this Court of the basis on which
jurisdiction exists or that this Court would dismiss this cause for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.3(a); see also Tex. Gov’t Code §§ 22.201(d) (listing counties within Third Court of
Appeals District), .220(a) (“Each court of appeals has appellate jurisdiction of all civil cases within
its district of which the district courts or county courts have jurisdiction when the amount in
controversy or the judgment rendered exceeds $250, exclusive of interest and costs.”). Allen has not
filed a response. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
