MARY MILEWSKI, Appellant v. SINGING PROPERTIES, Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 1 Johnson County, Texas
Trial Court No. CC-C20200064
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 29, 2020, appellant, Mary Milewski, filed her pro se notice of appeal in this matter. In her pro se notice appeal, appellant indicates that she wishes to appeal the trial court's March 11, 2020 judgment of possession. By letter dated June 29, 2020, the Clerk of this Court informed appellant that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because it appeared that her pro se notice of appeal was untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (providing that a notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the judgment is signed). The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the Court may dismiss this appeal unless, within ten days from the date of the letter, appellant showed grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant has not done so.
Because our jurisdiction depends on a timely notice of appeal, and because appellant's pro se notice of appeal is untimely, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. at R. 42.3(a); Howlett v. Tarrant County, 301 S.W.3d 840, 843 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2009, pet. denied) ("A timely-filed notice of appeal confers jurisdiction on this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal." (citiong Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997)).
