                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

                 Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Vela
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Adelaido Gonzales, Jr., attempted to perfect an appeal from an order

entered by the County Court at Law No. 3 of Cameron, County, Texas, in cause no. 2007-

CCL-0378-C. 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(b),(c).

                                                    PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 17th day of April, 2008.
