NO. 03-25-00938-CV

|

Filed: March 12, 2026

FROM THE 201ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY

NO. D-1-GN-22-002034, THE HONORABLE AMY CLARK MEACHUM, JUDGE PRESIDING

Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Theofanis and Crump

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Rosa Lopez Theofanis, Justice

*1 On February 24, 2026, this Court notified Lee that her notice of appeal—filed December 1, 2025—appeared untimely and that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless she filed a response explaining how this Court has jurisdiction over this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a) (allowing appellate court to dismiss case for want of jurisdiction after giving ten days’ notice to parties). Lee filed a response, asserting that this “Court has jurisdiction to hear this appeal because it presents a pure question of law under the Workers’ Compensation Act that has never been addressed.”
