is signed. Tex.R.App.P. 41(a)(1). The Bank argues that the Restre-pos’ failure to file their affidavit in the cause number assigned to the severed party within thirty days of the severance deprives this Court of jurisdiction. A court of appeals has jurisdiction over an appeal when an appellant files an instrument that is “a bona fide attempt to invoke appellate court jurisdiction.” City of San Antonio v. Rodriguez, 828 S.W.2d 417, 418 (Tex.1992) (per curiam); Mu on for new trial filed under old cause number, but seeking new trial as to a severed party, extends the appellate timetable and allows perfection of an appeal as a bona fide attempt to invoke appellate jurisdiction, making the court of appeals’ dismissal improper); Grand Prairie Independent School Dist., 813 S.W.2d at 500 (<HOLDING>). III. CONCLUSION We hereby give notice
holding that a notice of appeal filed when an appeal bond is required to perfect is a bona fide attempt to invoke appellate jurisdiction and that the court of appeals dismissal was improper without first affording an opportunity to correct the defective perfection of appeal holding that notice of appeal filed under the wrong docket number is a bona fide attempt to invoke appellate jurisdiction and that the court of appeals dismissal was improper holding that the court did not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal after an untimely filing of a notice of appeal holding that an appeal is perfected when the appeal bond is filed holding that prejudice should be presumed where counsel filed notice of appeal but failed to perfect the direct appeal
