Samuel C. Perkins v. Bexar County Commissioners

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
March 4, 2019
No. 04-19-00105-CV
Samuel C. PERKINS,
Appellant
v.
BEXAR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
Appellee
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017TA101177
Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On February 21, 20019, pro se appellant filed a document entitled “Petition to Amend
Below Petition for Appeal” referencing cause number 2017TA101177 as the underlying cause
number. We construe this document as a notice of appeal. On February 26, 2019, the trial court
clerk filed a letter stating no order or judgment has been entered in cause number
2017TA101177. Unless specifically authorized by statute, appeals may be taken only from final
judgments. Tex. A & M Univ. Sys. v. Koseoglu, 233 S.W.3d 835, 840 (Tex. 2007); Lehmann v.
Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show
cause in writing within fifteen days from the date of this order why this appeal should not be
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. All other appellate deadlines are suspending pending our
resolution of the jurisdictional issue.
