        The Court’s records indicate that your notice of appeal on the merits of the underlying
case may not have been timely filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (requiring notice of appeal to be
filed within thirty days after the judgment is signed). Accordingly, the Court has directed me to

written response to this notice, providing a detailed explanation, citing relevant portions of the
record, statutes, rules, and case law to show that this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).

Court may dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction without further notice.

       It is so ORDERED.
