                                 COURT OF APPEALS

                     THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

____________________________________________________________

CHARLOTTE COSTLEY,                                                                      Appellant,

                                                  v.

WINSTAR WORLD CASINO

             On appeal from the 170th District Court
                  of McLennan County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Charlotte Costley, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered

by the 170th District Court of McLennan County, Texas, in Cause No. 2013-406-4. 1



       1 This case is before the Court on transfer from the Tenth Court of Appeals in Waco pursuant to a
docket equalization order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001
(West, Westlaw through 2013 3d C.S.).
Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that there was no final,

appealable judgment dated December 30, 2013. On March 5, 2014, 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 the Court’s notice, the

appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond to the

Court’s notice.

       The McLennan County Clerk’s Office has informed this Court that no judgment

was entered on December 30, 2013. In terms of appellate jurisdiction, appellate courts

only have jurisdiction to review final judgments and certain interlocutory orders identified

by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001).

       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.     Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF

JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c).

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
8th day of May, 2014.
