In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-12-00397-CV _________________

IN RE COMMITMENT OF TIMOTHY ROSALES

________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 02-11-07554 CV ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In an appeal from an order entered in a sexually-violent-predator proceeding modifying the terms of a commitment order, changing the entity that approves where Timothy Rosales must reside, we questioned our appellate jurisdiction over such order. Upon consideration of the statute and the responses of the parties, we conclude that the trial court’s order is not appealable, and we also conclude that mandamus relief on the issues Rosales raises is not warranted. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Recently, in In re Commitment of Cortez, we addressed the same issues as are set forth in Rosales’s brief and concluded that we did not have appellate jurisdiction over these same issues. No. 09-12-00385-CV, 2013 WL 3270613, at *2 (Tex. App.—Beaumont June 27, 2013, no pet. h.). We also considered whether Cortez raised issues entitling him to mandamus relief. See id. at **2-6.

For the same reasons stated in Cortez, we conclude that we lack appellate jurisdiction to review the trial court’s order dated July 26, 2012, and that Rosales has not demonstrated that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we dismiss Rosales’s appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
