MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria
Appellant, Ruben P. Bahena, attempted to perfect an appeal from a notice of non-
suit entered by the 214th District Court in Nueces County, Texas, in cause no. 2015-FAM-
2130-F. Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that the order from
which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order. 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.
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).
NORA L. LONGORIA
Justice
Delivered and filed on the
14th day of October, 2021.
