S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00596-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF D.J.L. AND J.J.W., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 304th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JC-18-00535-W
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal
because it contained an order transferring this case to Bexar County. We instructed appellant to
file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue and cautioned her that failure to do so may
result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed
a letter brief.
This Court has jurisdiction of all civil cases “within its district.” Tex. Gov’t Code Ann.
§ 22.220(a) (West Supp. 2017). Bexar County district courts are not within this Court’s district.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
