Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-09-00239-CV

In re C. L. H., a Minor

FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 09-405-FC4, HONORABLE JOHN MCMASTER, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Vernard Brown, Jr., seeks to appeal from the trial court’s order denying his

request for a bench warrant in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. This Court’s jurisdiction

is limited to the review of final judgments and certain interlocutory orders signed by the trial court.

See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.012 (West Supp. 2009), § 51.014 (West 2008); see also

Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A ruling on a motion for a bench

warrant is not an independently appealable order. See Ewing v. State, No. 10-09-00045-CR, 2009

Tex. App. LEXIS 2372, at *1 (Tex. App.—Waco Apr. 8, 2009, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated

for publication). On February 9, 2010, we notified Brown that the appellate record in this case does

not appear to contain a final or otherwise appealable order. Brown’s written response fails to

demonstrate that an appealable order has been signed by the trial court. Accordingly, this appeal is

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. __________________________________________
