                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

       Appellant, Ruben P. Bahena, attempted to perfect an appeal from a notice of non-

suit entered by the 214th District Court in Nueces County, Texas, in cause no. 2015-FAM-

2130-F. Upon review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that the order from

which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order. The Clerk of this Court

notified appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could

be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 42.3. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not
corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice.

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to

correct the defect in this matter, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for

want of jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of

jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a),(c).

                                                                NORA L. LONGORIA
                                                                Justice

Delivered and filed on the
14th day of October, 2021.
