Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-24-00743-CV

Bryan Imari DIAS, Appellant

v.

Hannah GRIZZLE, Appellee

From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024-CI-21504 Honorable Benjamin Robertson, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice Todd McCray, Justice

Delivered and Filed: January 8, 2025

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Appellant seeks to appeal from temporary orders in a suit affecting the parent-child

relationship. In family law cases, temporary orders are not appealable. See TEX. FAM. CODE §

105.001(e); In re K.K.M., No. 04-12-00677-CV, 2013 WL 820585, at * 1 (Tex. App.—San

Antonio Mar. 6, 2013, no pet.) (dismissing appeal from temporary orders in a suit affecting the

parent-child relationship because the challenged orders were not appealable); see also Dancy v.

Daggett, 815 S.W.2d 548, 549 (Tex. 1991) (recognizing mandamus as the appropriate vehicle to

challenge temporary orders in family law cases because temporary orders are not subject to 04-24-00743-CV

interlocutory appeal under the family code). Accordingly, we ordered appellant to show cause

why we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellant filed a response to our order, but it fails to

demonstrate our jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction. See TEX. FAM. CODE § 105.001(e); In re K.K.M., 2013 WL 820585, at * 1.
