IN THE INTEREST OF R.D.W., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-08-11577

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Smith Opinion by Justice Smith

This appeal follows the associate judge’s hearing in a family law matter. Because an appeal from an associate judge’s ruling is to the referring court, and not the court of appeals, see TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 201.015, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal. Although we gave appellant an opportunity to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed and cautioned her that failure to do so by June 21, 2021 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, appellant has not responded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). Accordingly, on the record before us, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).
