The Court's records indicate that your notice of appeal on the merits of the underlying case may not have been timely filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (requiring notice of appeal to be filed within thirty days after the judgment is signed). Accordingly, the Court has directed me to notify you that the Court may dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction unless you file a written response to this notice, providing a detailed explanation, citing relevant portions of the record, statutes, rules, and case law to show that this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
The final deadline to file your response is 5:00 p.m., January 28, 2016. You must respond in writing even if you have previously claimed your notice of appeal was timely filed.

It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Harvey Brown
