Christopher Reese/ George Scott v. George Scott// Cross-Appellee, Christopher Reese ( 2022 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00647-CV
Appellant, Christopher Reese/ Cross-Appellant, George Scott, Appellant
v.
Appellees, George Scott et al.// Cross-Appellee, Christopher Reese, Appellee
FROM THE JUSTICE COURT PRECINCT 4 OF BLANCO COUNTY
NO. SC22-0002, THE HONORABLE H.R. RILEY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Christopher Reese and Cross-Appellant George Scott filed
cross-notices of appeal complaining of a final judgment signed by the Blanco County Justice of
the Peace, Precinct 4. Our jurisdiction, however, is limited to appeals from judgments by the
district or county courts within our district boundaries. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.220(a). An
appeal from an order rendered by a justice court generally must be brought in the county court.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.001(a) (appeal from final judgment by justice court is to
county or district court); Molina v. Molina, No. 03-19-00101-CV, 2019 WL 2127893, at *1 (Tex.
App.—Austin May 16, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op.); Whisenhunt v. Hill, No. 02-12-00310-CV,
2012 WL 3733868, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Aug. 30, 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.).
We asked the parties how we might exercise jurisdiction over these appeals.
Neither party filed any response. We therefore dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. See
Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). 1
