Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas March 19, 2020 No. 04-20-00135-CV IN THE INTEREST OF J.O.H., R.F.B., H.R., J.J.R., and M.L.D.L., Children, From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019-PA-00260 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

ORDER On February 27, 2020, the trial court signed an interlocutory order terminating Appellant’s rights to her children. On March 3, 2020, Appellant Mom filed a notice of appeal.

The Texas Family Code authorizes appeal of a final order terminating a parent’s rights to their child in accordance with “the procedures for accelerated appeals in civil cases under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.” TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 263.405(a).

Generally, “an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment. A judgment is final for purposes of appeal if it disposes of all pending parties and claims in the record, except as necessary to carry out the decree.” Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). “There is no provision for interlocutory appeal of an order denying a termination petition; we do not have jurisdiction over such interlocutory orders.” In re C.M., No. 01-15-00830-CV, 2016 WL 1054589, at *5 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Mar. 17, 2016, no pet.) (mem. op.) (citing TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014).

We ORDER Appellant to show cause within TEN DAYS of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). If Appellant does not timely file written proof as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed without further notice. See id. All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court. _________________________________ Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 19th day of March, 2020.
