V.
FLEXI-VAN LEASING, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1259146
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Non-lawyer Rapheal Osita Ugwa filed a notice of appeal on behalf of God
First Trucking LLC. A notice of appeal filed by a non-lawyer on behalf of a limited
liability company is ineffective. See Walker v. Taub, No. 01-20-00580-CV, 2022
WL 2309133, at *4β5 (Tex. App.β Houston [1st Dist.] June 28, 2022, no pet.)
(mem. op.). Without a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction over an
appeal. Id. at *5.
We sent the parties notice of our intent to dismiss for want of jurisdiction,
affording God First Trucking LLC 14 days to file an amended notice of appeal
signed by a Texas attorney. God First Trucking LLC did not do so or otherwise
respond. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); Walker, 2022 WL 2309133, at *5.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Caughey and Johnson.
