Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas September 25, 2020

No. 04-20-00452-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF A.L.H., S.S.H., H.R.H., H.L.H., V.A.P., R.J.R., CHILDREN

From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019PA02055 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On September 10, 2020, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a final decree of termination that appellant contends was orally rendered on August 13, 2020. The clerk’s record does not contain a signed final order terminating appellant’s parental rights. “[A]n appeal may be prosecuted only from a final judgment.” N.E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966).

Because it appears no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing no later than October 5, 2020 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to timely respond, this appeal will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
