DELVIN DEWAYNE BUSBY, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                              

On Appeal from the 354th Judicial District Court
Hunt County, Texas
Trial Court No. 21,853

                                                 

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

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Delvin Dewayne Busby has appealed from his retaliation conviction in Hunt County. 
Appeals from that county may be directed to either the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas or this Court. 
We filed the appeal here based on a docketing statement directed to this Court specifying we were
to receive the appeal.  We have now received the record, and the notice of appeal specifies appeal
to the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas.  We have contacted the clerk's office for the Fifth Court of
Appeals and have been informed that notice of appeal was sent there.
            Therefore, the appeal was improvidently filed here.  Accordingly, we direct the clerk of our
Court to ship the clerk's record to the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas so the appeal may proceed
there. 
            We dismiss this appeal.
