RENE J. MARTINEZ,
                                                           Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                           Appellee


                       From the County Court at Law No. 1
                              Brazos County, Texas
                             Trial Court No. 4789-A


                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Rene J. Martinez appeals a conviction for disregarding a stop sign or signal. By

letter dated December 18, 2013, the Clerk of this Court notified Martinez that the appeal

was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because the judgment underlying this

appeal is a County Court at Law judgment in a trial de novo appeal from an inferior

court and the County Court at Law judgment does not impose a fine or affirm a fine in

excess of $100. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 4.03. By the same letter, the Clerk

also warned Martinez that the Court would dismiss the appeal unless, within 7 days
from the date of the letter, a response was filed explaining why the Court has

jurisdiction of this appeal. Martinez filed a response, but it does not show that the

Court has jurisdiction of this appeal.

         This appeal is dismissed. 1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3.
