                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

              AMVETS DEPARTMENT OF TEXAS FOUNDATION, Appellee

                       On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Reichek
                                  Opinion by Justice Schenck
       This is an appeal from the trial court’s judgment finding appellant guilty of forcible

detainer. After a review of the clerk’s record revealed the judgment had been superseded during

the trial court’s plenary power by an order dismissing the case for want of jurisdiction, we

questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal as the appeal appeared to have become moot. See

Williams v. Lara, 52 S.W.3d 171, 184 (Tex. 2001) (case becomes moot if controversy ceases to

exist). We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern and cautioned appellant

that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). More than ten days have passed and appellant has not responded. Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a),(c).
