In Re Michael Euler v. the State of Texas

NUMBER 13-25-00194-CV

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

IN RE MICHAEL EULER

ON APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW
OF BASTROP COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices West and Fonseca
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Fonseca

This cause is before the Court on its own motion.1 On March 10, 2025, appellant

filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a “judgment of possession” entered “on

March 5, 2025” in trial court cause number 25-22747. It is noted, the case appears to

arise from a justice of the peace court, and there does not appear to have been a trial de

novo by the County Court. Accordingly, there does not appear to be a final, appealable

order entered by the County Court.

As such, on April 28, 2025, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that it appears

there is no final, appealable order. Appellant was further notified that if the defect was not

cured within ten days, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. Appellant

has failed to respond to the notice or otherwise correct the defect.

Absent an appealable interlocutory order or final judgment, this Court has no

jurisdiction over this appeal. See Ogletree v. Matthews, 262 W.S.3d 316, 319 n. 1 (Tex.

2007); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191,195 (Tex. 2001). Having considered

the documents on file and appellant’s failure to correct the jurisdictional defect in this

matter or establish how more time would aid in curing the defect, we dismiss the appeal

for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).

YSMAEL D. FONSECA
Justice

Delivered and filed on the
12th day of June, 2025.
