TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-19-00101-CV

                                     Javier Molina, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                     Hilda Molina, Appellee

             FROM THE JUSTICE COURT PRECINCT 5 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
       NO. J5-CV-18-248681, THE HONORABLE NICHOLAS CHU, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant filed a notice of appeal from a judgment signed by the justice court on

January 29, 2019. This Court, however, lacks jurisdiction over justice-court judgments. That

jurisdiction lies in the county or district court. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.001

(appeal from justice court to county or district court); see also id. § 51.012 (appeal from district

or county court to court of appeals). We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Kelly and Smith

Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
