We questioned our jurisdiction and invited the parties to file responses. No response has been filed. We also warned the appellant that the filing fee must be paid unless she established indigence. The appellant neither asserted indigence nor paid the filing fee. Generally, an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment. Lehmann v. Har Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Generally, temporary orders in suits affecting the parent-child relationship are not subject to interlocutory 1 appeal. Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 105.001 (West 2008). The appellant has not shown that a statute authorizes an appeal at this time. Furthermore, the appellant did not file a response within the schedule set by the Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. We dismiss the appeal. Id. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Opinion Delivered May 16, 2013 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
