Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-25-00202-CV ___________________________

IN THE INTEREST OF J.G., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 324th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 324-736907-23

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant challenged the trial court’s judgment by filing both a motion for new

trial and a notice of appeal. While the trial court still had plenary jurisdiction, it

granted Appellant’s motion for new trial. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(e). The granting of

a new trial rendered this appeal moot, depriving us of jurisdiction. See In re B.G., No.

02-24-00477-CV, 2024 WL 5083191, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Dec. 12, 2024, no

pet.) (mem. op.).

On June 18, 2025, we notified the parties that the appeal had been mooted, and

we warned that we would dismiss it unless, within ten days, any party desiring to

continue the appeal showed grounds for doing so. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). More

than ten days have passed, and we have not received a response.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(a), 43.2(f). Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.4.

Per Curiam
