IN THE INTEREST OF M.H.E., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-55235-2011

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Lang, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Bridges In a letter dated June 5, 2015, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal in light of

the trial court’s April 1, 2015 order granting a new trial with respect to child support

enforcement. In response, appellant filed a letter confirming the trial court granted a new trial on

the issue that was appealed.

An order granting a new trial deprives an appellate court of jurisdiction over the appeal.

See Yan v. Jiang, 241 S.W.3d 930 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, no pet.) (per curiam). Accordingly,

on the Court’s own motion, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P.
