COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-16-00378-CV IN THE INTEREST OF C.N., A.N., AND C.N., CHILDREN ---------FROM THE 322ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 322-477121-10 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------The trial court signed an order holding appellant C.L.N. in contempt for failing to pay child support. Appellant, proceeding pro se, filed a document that we construed as a notice of appeal. We sent appellant a letter expressing our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because the trial court’s order was not appealable. We advised appellant that unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we could dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. Appellant has not responded to our letter. Because the trial court’s contempt order is not appealable, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); In re Office of Attorney Gen. of Tex., 215 S.W.3d 913, 915 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2007, orig. proceeding); Cadle Co. v. Lobingier, 50 S.W.3d 662, 671 (Tex.
