                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Perkes
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Perkes

       Appellant, Victoria Sanders, appealed a judgment of eviction entered by the

County Court at Law No. 5 of Nueces County, Texas. On September 9, 2019, the Clerk

of this Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rules

of Appellate Procedure 9.5(e) and 25.1(d)(1),(2). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e); id. R.

25.1(d)(1),(2). The Clerk directed appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the
district clerk's office within 30 days from the date of that notice. On September 30, 2019,

the Clerk notified appellant that the defects had not been corrected and warned appellant

that the appeal would be dismissed if the defects were not cured within ten days.

Appellant has not responded to the notice from the Clerk or corrected the defects.

       On its own motion, with ten days’ notice to the parties, an appellate court may

dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a notice from the

clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(b), (c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and failure to

comply with a notice from the Court. See id.

                                                         GREGORY T. PERKES
                                                        Justice

Delivered and filed the
26th day of November, 2019.
