EVICTION APPEALS

Frank v. Brittany Square Apartments (pdf)(Tex.App.- Houston [14th Dist.] Dec. 15, 2009)(Hedges)
(eviction suit appeal, error in bringing appeal, incomplete appellate record, DWOJ on appeal)
In this forcible detainer suit, the tenant appealed the judgment of the justice court to the county court at law.  
She asserts that the county court upheld the justice court’s judgment and granted possession of the premises to
the landlord, but she identifies no appealable order in the record.  We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of
jurisdiction.
