Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00622-CV IN THE INTEREST OF J.J., a Child From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011-PA-02163 Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebecca Simmons, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 12, 2012 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION On August 25, 2011, the Department of Family and Protective Services filed an original petition for protection of J.J., a child, and for termination of the parents parental rights. In an order signed on September 6, 2012, the trial court granted a motion for J.J. to be placed with maternal grandparents in a different state; the order did not adjudicate appellant father s parental rights. On September 14, 2012, appellant father filed a notice of appeal complaining of the placement order. In our November 6, 2012 order to appellant father, we warned appellant that this court lacks jurisdiction over most orders that do not dispose[] of all pending parties and claims in the record. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (noting that generally an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment ). We ordered appellant to 04-12-00622-CV show cause in writing to this court by November 21, 2012, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195. We warned appellant that if he failed to show cause in writing within the time provided, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). To date appellant has not filed a response to our November 21, 2012 order. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id.; see also id. R. 42.3(c).
