Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: May 15, 2019 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION On February 11, 2019, the trial court signed an order granting a writ of habeas corpus to compel the return of A.X.L.

App.—San Antonio 1987, no writ), and that mandamus is the proper remedy to compel enforcement of the right to possession of a child, Saucier v. Pena, 559 S.W.2d 654, 656 (Tex. 1977); Nydegger, 740 S.W.2d at 552. We ordered Appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. On May 3, 2019, Appellant filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. 04-19-00125-CV As we advised Appellant, a trial court’s order granting or denying a petition for writ of habeas corpus in a child custody case is not an appealable order. Gray, 594 S.W.2d at 409; Nydegger, 740 S.W.2d at 552. We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Gray, 594 S.W.2d at 409; Nydegger, 740 S.W.2d at 552.
