Appellant Yazid Malik Bey is attempting to appeal from a judgment signed on December 27, 2019 by the County Court at Law No. 2 concerning his right to possess four brown and white paint horses and one black and white paint horse that had been seized. Section 821.025 states that an owner who has been divested of ownership of an animal may appeal the order to a county court or county court at law in the county in which the justice or municipal court is located. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE § 821.025(a). This statute further states that the decision of the county court at law is final and may not be further appealed. See id. § 821.025(e); see also Madison v. Harris Cty., No. 01-17-00675-CV, 2017 WL 4414035 at * 1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Oct. 5, 2017, no pet.) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction attempted appeal from county court at Law ruling on appeal of justice court judgment seizing animals)..
Unless appellant files a response demonstrating by citation to the law that this Court has jurisdiction to consider this appeal, the Court will dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). Appellant's response, if any, is due in this Court within 10 days of the date of this notice.
