IN THE INTEREST OF T.S.

On Appeal from the 279th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. F-222,046-C __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pro se appellant L.B. filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s temporary

orders on notice to show cause in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. We

questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal and instructed the parties to file written

responses identifying the particular statute or rule authorizing an interlocutory

appeal by February 27, 2019. In the same letter, we warned the parties that we would

dismiss the appeal unless our jurisdiction is established.

Temporary orders under the Family Code are not immediately appealable. See

Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 105.001(e) (West 2014). Although we gave the parties notice 1 that the appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant failed to file a response that

supports the exercise of appellate jurisdiction at this time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
