Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00662-CV IN THE INTEREST OF M.A. and J.A. From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-PA-01618 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 3, 2014 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION On September 22, 2014, Appellant Judith R. filed a notice of appeal, stating that she intended to appeal an order from the trial court that was signed on September 19, 2014. 1 However, the clerk’s record reflects that the trial court did not sign an order in the underlying cause number on September 19, 2014. 2 Instead, the clerk’s record reflects that the trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights to her children M.A. and J.A. was signed by the trial court on February 19, 2014. The clerk’s record also reflects that appellant filed a notice of appeal from that order on March 19, 2014, and that this court dismissed her appeal for want of prosecution on July 2, 2014. 1 The notice of appeal is also signed by the children’s stepfather, Christopher J. However, he was not a party in the underlying proceedings. 2 On September 19, 2014, in a different cause number, the trial court signed an order terminating appellant’s rights to her child, C.J. Appellant Judith R., along with Christopher J. (who is C.J.’s father), filed a notice of appeal in that trial court cause number. That appeal, docketed as Appeal No. 04-14-00663-CV, is currently pending in this court. 04-14-00662-CV Mandate then issued in that appeal. Thus, it appears we have no jurisdiction over this second appeal filed by appellant on September 22, 2014. We therefore ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant has filed a response agreeing that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM -2-
