This appeal, filed October 1, 2021, complains of the justice court’s October 30, 2019 order of eviction and purported failure to notify the county court of appellants’ November 2019 appeal from that order. Because civil appeals to a court of appeals may generally only be taken from a district or county court’s final judgment in which the amount in controversy exceeds $250, see § 51.012, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal.

In response to our request for jurisdictional briefing, appellants filed three letter briefs, asserting, in relevant part, that the amount-in-controversy exceeds *2 $100,000. ^[1] The amount-in-controversy threshold, however, is not the only prerequisite; a final judgment from a district or county court is also required. See T EX . . § 51.012. Because the appeal complains of the justice court, we lack jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See R. A PP P. 42.3(a).
