ORDER Trial court case number: CI55847 Trial court: County Court at Law No. 2 and Probate Court of Brazoria County
On May 18, 2017, appellants, Earnest Jerome Taylor, dba T&S Enterprises, and Lisa Taylor, filed a notice of an interlocutory appeal of an "Order," denying their application for a temporary injunction. After a clerk's record was filed, the Clerk of this Court notified appellants that the Court might dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless a supplemental clerk's record showing that the trial court had signed an appealable order or judgment was filed or appellants filed a response showing that we have jurisdiction over the appeal. Appellants have filed a motion for an extension of time to file a response and supplement the clerk's record. The motion is granted.
Appellants' response is due in this Court within 10 days of the date of this notice. Unless the appellants cause to be filed a supplemental clerk's record containing documents showing that the trial court has signed an appealable order or judgment, or file a response demonstrating by citation to the law and the appellate record that this Court has jurisdiction of the appeal, this appeal may be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); see also id. 27.1(a) (prematurely filed notice of appeal); Wade v. David's Landscaping, No. 07-15-00155-CV, 2015 WL 3750311, at *1 (Tex. App.—Amarillo June 11, 2015, order) (citations omitted) (noting court was "willing to wait a reasonable time for the trial court to sign a final judgment" when appellant filed premature notice of appeal).
You must respond in writing even if you have previously claimed that this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Terry Jennings
