On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Rockwall County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1-24-1007
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Nowell, and Kennedy Opinion by Justice Kennedy Mother of R.W. and A.P.-P. and Father of R.W. appeal the trial court’s
temporary orders naming the Department of Family and Protective Services as
temporary managing conservator of the children. Because temporary orders in suits
affecting the parent-child relationship are not subject to interlocutory appeal, see
TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 105.001(e), we directed the parties to file, no later than
September 30, 2024, letter briefs explaining how we have jurisdiction over this
appeal. We cautioned the parties that failure to file the requested letter briefs by the
deadline could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). To date, the parties have not complied.1 Accordingly, we dismiss
the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 105.001(e); TEX.
R. APP. P. 42.3 (a), (c).
