In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-23-00137-CV __________________ IN THE INTEREST OF J.C., J.C., AND J.C. __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 22-11-15814-CV __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 5, 2023, Appellant D.C. filed a notice of appeal regarding the trial court’s denial of her motion to dismiss a child protection suit. After D.C. filed her appeal, the Court’s Clerk sent D.C. a notice informing her that it did not appear she was attempting to bring an appeal from a judgment or from an appealable order. We asked D.C. to identify the statute or rule authorizing her appeal. Even though D.C. filed responses to the Court’s letter, her responses fail to identify a final judgment or 1 a written order from which an appeal is authorized by law. 1 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on June 28, 2023 Opinion Delivered June 29, 2023 Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ. D.C. referred the Court to “H.B. 567.” Assuming she refers to House Bill 567 of the 87th Legislature, the Legislature amended several sections of the Family Code but did not add a right to immediate appeal of a trial court’s oral denial of a motion to dismiss a child protection case. See generally Act of April 28, 2021, 87th Leg., R.S., §§ 1-16. 2 1
