We instructed appellant to file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue and cautioned her that failure to do so may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a letter brief. This Court has jurisdiction of all civil cases “within its district.” Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.220(a) (West Supp. 2017). Bexar County district courts are not within this Court’s district. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.
