 DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)


------------

Appellant Steven C. Jenkins filed a timely notice of appeal indicating that he wished to appeal from a contempt judgment.  We sent Appellant a letter stating our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because contempt judgments are usually not appealable.
(footnote: 2)  We requested that Appellant respond to the question of whether an appeal is proper in his case.  He has not done so.  The contempt judgment is not appealable.
(footnote: 3)  We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
