In the case of Jashon Page and Micheal Page v. Cerberus SFR Holdings, L.P., the Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District of Texas addressed an appeal regarding a forcible detainer action. The appellants filed their notice of appeal on February 22, 2019. However, following the execution of a writ of possession by the constable on March 11, 2019, the court raised concerns about the appeal's mootness due to the appellants losing possession of the property in question. Citing precedents such as Daftary v. Prestonwood Mkt. Square, Ltd. and Marshall v. Housing Authority of City of San Antonio, the court noted that a forcible detainer case becomes moot when the appellant no longer holds the property unless they assert a viable claim to possession. The court informed the appellants that they needed to file a response by July 29, 2019, demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal, or it would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. No response was received from the appellants, leading the court to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction on August 29, 2019.
