RUBEN EMILIO CARDENAS APPELLANT V.

JENNIFER JANELLE JENSEN APPELLEE

----------

FROM THE 442ND DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 15-02959-442

----------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

----------

Ruben Emilio Cardenas attempts to appeal from the trial court’s “Order of Enforcement of Temporary Orders by Contempt and Order of Commitment.” On January 4, 2016, we sent a letter to Cardenas expressing our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because the order does not appear to be a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order. See Lehmann v. Har-Con

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (explaining that “the general rule, with a few mostly statutory exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment”). We stated that unless Cardenas or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by January 14, 2016, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Having received no response, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
