Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 5, 2021
No. 04-21-00443-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF J.J.H., A CHILD
From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-PA-01604 Honorable Susan D. Reed, Judge Presiding
ORDER On October 15, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal, stating his intent to appeal the trial court’s “order denying the motion to remove child from present custody” signed on October 6, 2021. The clerk’s record was filed on October 26, 2021. Although the clerk’s record contains the judge’s notes, the clerk’s record does not contain a final order. See In re L.H., No. 04-13- 00174-CV, 2013 WL 3804585, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 17, 2013, no pet.) (noting judge’s notes do not constitute a final order) (mem. op.). “[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 no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing within ten days from the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
