TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-19-00731-CV Sergio Alderete, Jr., Appellant v. The Attorney General of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 19-1891-FC4, THE HONORABLE DAWN ELIZABETH BAARDSEN, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION On October 11, 2019, appellant, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal in the trial court pursuant to the provisions of section 201.015 of the Texas Family Code. See Tex. Fam. Code § 201.015(f) (requiring referring court to hold de novo hearing within 30 days of request); see generally In re R.R., 537 S.W.3d 621 (Tex. App.—Austin 2017, orig. proceeding); Attorney General v. Orr, 989 S.W.2d 464 (Tex. App.—Austin 1999, no pet.). Appellant requested a hearing within 30 days, objected to the associate judge’s recommendations concerning child support, and asserted that “[t]he child support arrearage was wrong.” Attached to his notice of appeal is the associate judge’s order establishing the parent-child relationship. On November 22, 2019, this Court sent notice to appellant that it appeared that this Court lacks jurisdiction over this matter and requested a response on or before December 2, 2019, explaining how this Court may exercise jurisdiction. We further explained that the failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has not filed a response or otherwise explained how this Court may exercise jurisdiction over this matter. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). __________________________________________ Melissa Goodwin, Justice Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: December 6, 2019 2
