In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-12-00415-CV ____________________ IN RE COMMITMENT OF MINOR REEDER _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 02-12-08260-CV ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Minor Reeder filed a notice of appeal from an interlocutory order modifying residency requirements of his civil commitment order. We conclude the interlocutory order is not appealable and that mandamus relief is not warranted.

This Court has no appellate jurisdiction over the interlocutory order. See In re Commitment of Cortez, No. 09-12-00385-CV, 2013 WL 3270613 (Tex. App.— Beaumont June 27, 2013, no pet. h.). We have reviewed the merits of the issues to determine whether mandamus relief is appropriate. We considered these same arguments and issues in Cortez and rejected them. See id. For the reasons

explained in Cortez, we conclude mandamus relief is not appropriate. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
