KAREN Y. COREY-STEELE, Appellee

On Appeal from the 244th District Court

Ector County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. C-105,220

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On July 8, 1998, the trial court entered a protective order. On January 10, 2007, Keith Russell Judd filed in this court an amended notice of appeal challenging the 1998 order. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.

On January 10, 2007, the clerk of this court wrote the parties stating that it appeared this court did not have jurisdiction over this appeal and directing Judd to respond showing grounds for continuing this appeal. Judd has responded.

In his response, Judd states that his 2007 Aamended notice of appeal relates-back to the date@ of his original notice of appeal that he alleges was timely mailed on July 14, 1998 (emphasis in original). Judd asks this court to order an evidentiary hearing concerning his 1998 notice of appeal. Judd notes in his response that the Texas Supreme Court denied his 2005 petition for writ of mandamus directing the trial court to process his notices of appeal.

Judd has failed to establish that this court has jurisdiction to entertain his complaints. Tex. R. App. P. 25.1,26.1. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.
