Rickey Wayne Tolbert v. George A. Otstott ( 2014 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-14-00240-CV
RICKEY WAYNE TOLBERT,
Appellant
v.
GEORGE A. OTSTOTT,
Appellee
From the County Court At Law
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court No. 89868-CC
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rickey Wayne Tolbert filed a notice of appeal in this Court on August 14, 2014.
By letter dated August 19, 2014, this Court notified Tolbert that the appeal was subject
to dismissal for want of jurisdiction. The Clerk also warned Tolbert that the appeal
would be dismissed unless, within 21 days of the date of the letter, a response was filed
showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3. Tolbert filed a
response, but the response does not show that this Court has jurisdiction over the
appeal.
Because this Court lacks jurisdiction of an appeal from a County Court at Law in
Kaufman County, which is within the jurisdiction of the Fifth Court of Appeals, we
dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T. CODE ANN. §§ 22.220(a),
22.201(f, k) (West Supp. 2013).
