Justices Garza, Vela, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion
Per Curiam
 




Appellant,
Faustino Ortiz III, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the
25th District Court of Gonzales, County, Texas, in cause no. 24307.  Upon
review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that there was no final,
appealable order or judgment.  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(a),(c).  Any pending
motions are dismissed as moot.
 
PER
CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
19th day of May, 2011.
