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 *2 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).
