COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-17-00231-CV IN THE INTEREST OF J.V., A MINOR CHILD ---------FROM THE 235TH DISTRICT COURT OF COOKE COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. CV16-00447 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------Appellant attempts to appeal from several trial court rulings occurring in this case and in a separate case also pending in a Cooke County court. The trial court clerk notified this court that an order relating to the matters Appellant challenges has not been entered in this case. We sent Appellant a notice that 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. there was no final or otherwise appealable order in the case and gave the parties until August 8, 2017, to correct the defect in the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), 27.1(a), 44.3, 44.4(a)(2). No party timely responded to our notice or corrected the defect. We have jurisdiction to consider appeals only from final judgments or from interlocutory orders where a statute explicitly provides appellate jurisdiction. See CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. 2011). Because we have been presented with neither, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, 43.2(f). /s/ Lee Gabriel LEE GABRIEL JUSTICE PANEL: GABRIEL, SUDDERTH, and KERR, JJ. DELIVERED: August 31, 2017 2
