Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00477-CV ___________________________

IN THE INTEREST OF B.G., B.G., AND B.G., CHILDREN

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Wichita County, Texas Trial Court No. CCL1-CP2023-2329

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Wallach and Walker, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Wallach MEMORANDUM OPINION

The trial court terminated Appellant Father’s parental rights to his three

children. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 161.001(b)(1)(D), (N), (O), (2). Father then filed

a notice of appeal and a motion for new trial. The trial court granted Father’s motion

for new trial.

Because the trial court granted Father’s motion, we informed Father of our

concern that his appeal had been mooted by the trial court’s action. See Tex. R. App.

P. 42.3; In re J.L.G., Jr., No. 01-17-00129-CV, 2017 WL 1504008, at *1 (Tex. App.—

Houston [1st Dist.] Apr. 25, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.) (“The granting of a new trial

renders the appeal moot, and this Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal.”). We

informed Father that we would dismiss the appeal as moot unless, within ten days of

our letter, he filed a response stating grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R.

App. P. 42.3(a), (c).

Father has filed no response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See

Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); J.L.G., 2017 WL 1504008, at *1.
