                       IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

               TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

                                     TYLER, TEXAS

ROBERT FRANKLIN CALDWELL,                           §         APPEAL FROM THE THIRD
APPELLANT

V.                                               §            JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

DEWAYNE DEWBERRY,
APPELLEE                                        §            ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS

                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                      PER CURIAM
       On April 19, 2013, Appellant, Robert F. Caldwell, filed a notice of appeal expressing his
intent to appeal an order of dismissal signed on March 22, 2013. By letter dated April 23, 2013,
the Anderson County District Clerk advised this court that a notice had been sent to Caldwell in
error by that office, advising him that an order of dismissal had been signed on March 22, 2013.
The district clerk further advised that the letter should have informed Caldwell that a bill of cost,
not an order of dismissal, was enclosed.
       On March 25, 2013, this court notified Caldwell that the information received in this
appeal, including the district clerk’s letter, did not show the jurisdiction of this court. Caldwell
was further notified that the appeal would be dismissed unless the information was amended on
or before May 28, 2013, to show the jurisdiction of this court.
       In response to the March 25, 2013 notice, Caldwell informed this court that he had no
documentation relating to a March 22, 2013 dismissal order. Moreover, we have received the
clerk’s record in this appeal, which includes a dismissal order signed on August 30, 2010, rather
than on March 22, 2013. Thus, the information filed in the appeal still does not show the
jurisdiction of this court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 37.2, 42.3.
Opinion delivered May 22, 2013.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.

                            Appeal from the 3rd Judicial District Court
                         of Anderson County, Texas. (Tr.Ct.No. 3-41282)
