IN THE INTEREST OF S.R.W., a Child

From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-PA-01236 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

ORDER On September 30, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a final order of termination rendered on or about September 21, 2022. The clerk’s record was filed on October 10, 2022, and does not contain an order terminating appellant’s parental rights. In response to this court’s inquiry, the trial court clerk confirmed that a termination order has not been filed. Generally, “an 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.

It is so ORDERED on October 13, 2022.
