Kyle Holland v. Kristine Scroggie

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-16-00435-CV

Kyle Holland, Appellant v.

Kristine Scroggie, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 261ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-FM-03-000048, HONORABLE ANDREW J. HATHCOCK, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Kyle Holland filed a notice of appeal in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. See Tex. Fam. Code §§ 151.001-162.602. According to Holland, he seeks to appeal two interlocutory rulings: (1) the denial of his request for county funds to take depositions; and (2) the denial of his request for a free transcript of certain proceedings in this case.

The appellate jurisdiction of this Court is limited to the review of final judgments and certain interlocutory orders. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012, .014; Lehmann v. Har- Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Based on the record before us, it appears that the trial court has not yet rendered a final judgment in this case. Further, none of the rulings that Holland seeks to appeal are subject to interlocutory appeal under Section 51.014. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(a).1 Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
