COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 2-09-100-CV
MARK M. D=AMICO APPELLANT
V.
CITY OF FORT WORTH APPELLEE
(ROBERT CHAMBERS)
------------
FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
Appellant Mark M. D=Amico attempts to appeal from the trial court=s order granting the plea to the jurisdiction of appellee City of Fort Worth (Robert Chambers). We sent a letter to appellant that informed him of our concern that we do not have jurisdiction because, based on our review of the record, this is a case that originated in small claims court. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 28.053(d) (Vernon 2004); Sultan v. Mathew, 178 S.W.3d 747, 752B53 (Tex. 2005) (holding that because of section 28.053(d), Acourts of appeals lack jurisdiction over cases originally filed in the small claims court@); Lister v. Walters, 247 S.W.3d 381, 383 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 2008, no pet.); Gaskill v. Sneaky Enters., Inc., 997 S.W.2d 296, 297 (Tex. App.CFort Worth 1999, pet. denied).
Appellant has responded to our letter, but he has not established any valid jurisdictional grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
