                      JUDGMENT RENDERED OCTOBER 16,2015

                                     NO. 03-15-00495-CV

                                 Ronald D. Patton, Appellant

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

        APPEAL FROM THE 299TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
      BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES PEMBERTON AND FIELD
    DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION » OPINION BY JUSTICE FIELD

Having reviewed the record, it appears that the Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal.
Therefore, the Court dismisses the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Because appellant is indigent

and unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.

                                   Ronald D. Patton, Appellant

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee

     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. D-l-DC-14-205610, HONORABLE KAREN SAGE, JUDGE PRESIDING

                             MEMORANDUM                  OPINION

               Appellant Ronald D. Patton, an inmate appearing pro se, has filed a notice of"appeal

to recover property loss." However, based on the information provided in Patton's notice, it does

not appear that Patton first sought relief in the trial court and that he now seeks to appeal a

final judgment.

                Unless a statute authorizes an interlocutory appeal, the jurisdiction of this Court is

limited to the review of final judgments. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.12,51.014; Lehmann

v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). After reviewing Patton's notice of appeal, the

clerk of this Court notified Patton that it appeared that the Court lacked jurisdiction to consider his

appeal. The clerk requestedthat Pattonrespond in writingto explain whythis Court hasjurisdiction

over his appeal and informed Patton that his appeal would be subject to dismissal if he did not

respond by August 17, 2015.
