                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
        After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal

because it contained an order transferring this case to Bexar County. We instructed appellant to

file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue and cautioned her that failure to do so may

result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed

a letter brief.

        This Court has jurisdiction of all civil cases “within its district.” Tex. Gov’t Code Ann.

§ 22.220(a) (West Supp. 2017). Bexar County district courts are not within this Court’s district.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
