GARNET BUILDERS LLC, MARIA SANCHEZ, AND LUIS ALEJANDRO SANCHEZ, Appellants

v.

RED BLUFF DEVELOPMENT, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from the 61st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2026-07244

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants Garnet Builders LLC, Maria Sanchez, and Luis Alejandro

Sanchez filed this interlocutory appeal on February 20, 2026, appealing an ex parte restraining order signed February 6, 2026. The Harris County District Clerk’s

website reflects that the restraining order was extended to automatically expire on

March 6, 2026, and that an agreed order was signed on March 6, 2026.1 Thus, the

appealed order has expired by its own terms and this Court lacks jurisdiction over

this appeal.

On March 26, 2026, we sent a notice to the parties explaining that the

appealed order appears to have expired by its own terms and asking them to file a

response with 7 days explaining why we have jurisdiction over this appeal. No

party filed a response. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this

interlocutory appeal and dismiss it for want of jurisdiction. We dismiss all other

pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Johnson, and Dokupil.

1 Appellate courts may take judicial notice of facts outside the record when necessary to determine jurisdiction. See TEX. R. EVID. 201(d); In re Lombana, 542 S.W.3d 699, 701 n.1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2017, orig. proceeding). 2
