                                          Before Morriss, C.J.,
Carter and Moseley, JJ.
                                              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
            Joan
Capps, plaintiff below, filed a notice of appeal with this Court appealing the
trial court’s final judgment in trial court cause number 2007-207.  Defendants below, Nexion Health at Southwood,
Inc., d/b/a Southwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Nexion Health, Inc.,
and Nexion Health Management, Inc., filed their notice of appeal from that same
final judgment with the Tyler Court of Appeals. 

            This
Court and the Tyler Court of Appeals share common jurisdiction over Rusk
County, and appeals from that county may be filed in either the Sixth Court of
Appeals at Texarkana or the Twelfth Court of Appeals at Tyler.  Tex.
Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.201 (Vernon Supp. 2009).
            Because
notices of appeal were filed in both this Court and the Tyler Court, and
because the parties were unable to agree on which court would handle the
appeal, a drawing was held by the Rusk County District Clerk’s Office.  Tex.
R. Jud. Admin. 15.4, reprinted in
Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. tit. 2,
subtit. F. app. (Vernon Supp. 2009).  As
a result of that drawing, these appeals have been consolidated, and the Tyler
court was selected as the court to handle these appeals, thereby vesting sole
jurisdiction in that court.
            We therefore dismiss
this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
