NUMBER 13-17-00186-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ IN RE SEARCH WARRANT 4670 SOUTHMOST ROAD ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 404th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Contreras, Benavides, and Longoria Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides Appellants Maria I. Menchaca and Verdejo Enterprises, LLC d/b/a Cameron County Auto Registration Services filed a notice of appeal on April 7, 2017 from a “Reconciled Final Order” rendered in a proceeding on a petition for hearing under Article 18.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the issuance of a search warrant. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 18.12 (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.). The “Reconciled Final Order” stated that appellants withdrew their request for a hearing on whether probable cause existed to issue the warrant and ordered the property at issue returned to appellants. The order thus dismissed the petition for a hearing for mootness and dismissed as to the issue of probable cause for want of prosecution. We dismiss the appeal. On April 27, 2017, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which this appeal was being attempted was not a final appealable order. The Clerk further notified appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of the Court’s directive. Appellant has not filed a response. Appellant has further failed to pay the filing fee for this appeal. The Court, having examined and fully considered the notice of appeal and appellants’ failures to respond to this Court’s directives, is of the opinion that this appeal should be dismissed. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(b),(c). GINA M. BENAVIDES, Justice Delivered and filed the 15th day of June, 2017. 2
