  On appeal from the 275th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
______________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

             Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Benavides
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Edna Morales, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by

the 275th District Court of Hidalgo, County, Texas, in cause no. F-252-04-E. Upon review

of the documents before the Court, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was

taken was not an appealable order. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect

so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. See TEX . R. APP. P.
37.1, 42.3. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days

from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of

jurisdiction.

       Additionally, the Clerk of the Court advised appellant that the notice of appeal

referenced a date of judgment that is not contained in the clerk’s record and instructed

appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the trial court within ten days from

receipt of the letter. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 44.3. Appellant was notified that failure to

file an amended notice of appeal would result in the appeal being dismissed. See Tex.

R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c).

       Appellant has failed to correct the defects or otherwise respond to the Court's

notice. The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to

correct the defect in this matter, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed.

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION and failure to

comply with a notice from the Court. See TEX . R. APP. P. 37.1; 42.3(b),(c).

                                                  PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 16th day of April, 2009.
