PERFECTO RODRIGUEZ, II, Appellant v. JUDITH SLAGLE, Appellee


On Appeal from the 68th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-22-06378

Before Justices Molberg, Carlyle, and Smith

MEMORANDUM OPINION

KEN MOLBERG JUSTICE

This appeal challenges the associate judge's final judgment dismissing appellant's claims against appellee for failure to replead. Because an associate judge's judgment is not appealable until signed by the referring court, see TEX. GOV'T. CODE ANN. § 54A.116(b), and nothing before us reflected the referring court had signed the judgment, we requested appellant to file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue. Although appellant complied, nothing therein demonstrates our jurisdiction. Accordingly, on the record before us, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id.; TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).

JUDGMENT

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.

Judgment entered.
