               On Appeal from the 25th District Court
                   of Gonzales County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                     Before Justices Garza, Vela, and Perkes
                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Faustino Ortiz III, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered

by the 25th District Court of Gonzales, County, Texas, in cause no. 24307. Upon review

of the documents before the Court, it appeared that there was no final, appealable order

or judgment. 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. Appellant

failed to 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 for

want of jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF

JURISDICTION. See id. 42.3(a),(c). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

                                                 PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
19th day of May, 2011.
