COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-16-00398-CV ESTATE OF JOHN DAVID HARRIS, DECEASED ---------FROM PROBATE COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 2011-PR00903-1-2 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------Appellant David Glen Harris attempts to appeal from the trial court’s “Order on Motion for Substitute Service” signed on June 28, 2016. On November 4, 2016, we sent a letter to Appellant expressing our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because the order does not appear to be a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (explaining that “the general rule, with a few mostly statutory exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment”). We stated that unless Appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by November 14, 2016, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Because Appellant’s response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM PANEL: WALKER, MEIER, and GABRIEL, JJ. DELIVERED: December 8, 2016 2
