CIV-13-0606 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 ---------Appellant C.M. filed a notice of appeal, stating that she desired to challenge a July 22, 2014 judgment that terminated her parental rights. On August 20, 2014, we sent a letter to appellant, through counsel, to express our concern that we lack jurisdiction because the trial court had not entered a final judgment or an appealable order. We also explained in our letter that we had received information that the trial court had granted appellant s motion for new 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. trial. Therefore, we informed her that unless she showed grounds for continuing the appeal, we could dismiss it for want of jurisdiction. She has not responded. Because appellant has not provided this court with a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order and because the trial court has granted appellant s motion for new trial, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
