No. 03-08-00370-CV

Filed: February 6, 2009.

Appealq from the District Court of Travis County, 126th Judicial District No. D-1-GN-07-001779, Honorable Suzanne Covington, Judge Presiding.

MEMORANDUM OPINION


McCray, an inmate housed in a facility located in Walker County, filed suit in Travis County against various Walker County government officials. On February 4, 2008, the district court granted the defendants' motion to transfer venue from Travis County to Walker County. McCray filed a notice of appeal in this Court on June 9, 2008. On November 3, 2008, we received notice from the District Clerk of Walker County that the clerk's record in the cause had been transferred to Walker County.

This Court has appellate jurisdiction of civil cases within the Third Court of Appeals District. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.220(a) (West 2004). Walker County is not within the Third Court of Appeals District. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.201(d), (k) (West Supp. 2008). Accordingly, we do not have jurisdiction over this case. Furthermore, to the extent McCray may be attempting to appeal the district court's interlocutory order transferring venue from Travis County to Walker County, we are without jurisdiction to review such an order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 15.064(a) (West 2002); § 51.014 (West 2008); Tex. R. Civ. P. 87(6).

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
