NO. 09-08-00534-CV _____________________

RAYMOND JAMES RICHARD AND CONNIE J. RICHARD, Appellants

V.

HSC PIPELINE PARTNERSHIP, LLC, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 112247

---

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Raymond James Richard and Connie J. Richard filed notice of appeal on their objection to the special commissioners' award. Upon receiving the notice of appeal, we notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of appeal, and warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless our jurisdiction was established. No response has been filed. The decision and award of the special commissioners is not appealable to the Court of Appeals at this time. See, e.g.,Tex. Prop. Code Ann. § 21.018 (Vernon 2004). We conclude the notice of appeal did not invoke our jurisdiction and that jurisdiction is vested in the trial court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
