DISMISS; Opinion Filed August 1, 2013. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00659-CV IN THE INTEREST OF C.W.P. AND D.W.P., CHILDREN On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-12-16098 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Evans Opinion by Justice Myers This is an appeal from the trial court s temporary orders in a pending suit for divorce and for orders regarding conservatorship of the children. Because an appeal from an interlocutory order can only be taken if authorized by statute, and the Texas Family Code specifically precludes an interlocutory appeal from an order for the temporary conservatorship of a child, we directed appellant to file a letter brief demonstrating our jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 105.001(e) (West 2008); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992). We directed appellant to file the brief no later than July 8, 2013. To date, however, appellant has not complied or otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, with no authority granting us jurisdiction over the complained-of order, we DISMISS the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). 130659F.P05 /Lana Myers/ LANA MYERS JUSTICE Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas JUDGMENT IN THE INTEREST OF C.W.P.
