The notice provided that Appellant must show grounds for continuing the appeal within ten days from the date of the notice. Not having received a response from Appellant, this Court, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, and on its own motion, hereby dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

We therefore dismiss this appeal.
