FROM THE 250TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-GN-21-006515, THE HONORABLE KARIN CRUMP, JUDGE PRESIDING
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Kelly and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darlene Byrne, Chief Justice
On December 27, 2021, we received a notice of appeal from trial court cause number D-1-GN-21-0006515 and filed it under our cause number 03-21-00679-CV. The notice of appeal, however, states that the matter was meant to be a direct interlocutory appeal from a special three-judge district court convened pursuant to section 22A.001 of the government code, see Tex. Gov't Code § 22A.001(a)(2), and such appeals are filed in the Texas Supreme Court, not this Court, id. § 22A.006(a). On March 29, 2022, we sent appellants a notice explaining that this appeal appeared to have been filed in this Court erroneously and asking for a response no later than April 8, 2022, either seeking to dismiss or explaining how we might exercise jurisdiction over the case. To date, no response has been filed. We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution and for failure to respond to our notice. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
Dismissed for Want of Prosecution.
