MEMORANDUM OPINION


A review of the record reveals this appeal originated as a small claims case filed in justice of the peace court precinct 3, place 1 as cause no. CV-02-00648-01. On June 11, 2003, appellant filed her notice of appeal of the county court at law's April 1, 2003 final judgment. This Court is without jurisdiction to review a county court at law's judgment in the appeal of a small claims case. See Howell Aviation Services v. Aerial Ads, Inc. 29 S.W.3d 321, 322 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2000, no pet.). After a review of the record from the county court at law filed in this appeal on June 27, 2003, the Court informed appellant by letter dated July 8, 2003 that it questions its jurisdiction over this appeal and instructed her to file a jurisdictional brief explaining the Court's jurisdiction over this matter.

Appellant responded with a July 16, 2003 letter stating, "Although portions of the record suggested that the case was originally filed in the justice court, we have confirmed with the clerk for that court that it was in fact filed in the small claims court and not the justice court. We are therefore requesting that this matter be removed from the appellate docket."

Therefore, on the Court's own motion, we DISMISS this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a).
