No. 06-24-00076-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF K.S.E., A CHILD

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 89914

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef MEMORANDUM OPINION On October 31, 2024, Appellant filed a notice of appeal “from the disposition and judgment of this action on September 9, 2024.” Our jurisdiction is constitutional and statutory in nature. See TEX. CONST. art. V, § 6; TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.220 (Supp.). This Court has jurisdiction to decide appeals from final judgments and from interlocutory orders as permitted by the Texas Legislature. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Ruiz v. Ruiz, 946 S.W.2d 123, 124 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1997, no writ) (per curiam). The trial court has not entered a final judgment in this matter.

By letter dated January 6, 2025, we notified Appellant of this potential defect in our jurisdiction and afforded her the opportunity to demonstrate proper grounds for our retention of the appeal. We warned Appellant that if we did not receive an adequate response by January 16, 2025, we would dismiss her appeal. Appellant did not file a response to our letter.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
