Dismiss and Opinion Filed March 1, 2022
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-01047-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.G. AND V.G., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 469th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 469-52594-2016
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Molberg, and Pedersen, III Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III This appeal challenges the trial court’s interlocutory orders denying
appellant’s special appearance and second motion to transfer venue filed in
connection with a petition to modify the parent-child relationship. It is well-settled,
however, that interlocutory orders are appealable only if authorized by statute. See
Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992). Interlocutory
appeals from a special appearance order in a suit brought under the family code and
an order refusing to transfer a suit affecting parent-child relationship are specifically
prohibited. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(7) (special
appearance); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 155.204(h) (transfer). In response to our request for jurisdictional briefing, the parties do not dispute the orders are not
appealable.1 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
