Order of Dismissal
________________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Preston Jerome White attempts to appeal from temporary orders entered in a suit
affecting the parent-child relationship. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
The record before us reveals that the Texas Department of Family and Protective
Services filed a petition seeking appointment as temporary managing conservator of
W.L.D.W., a minor child. On August 22, 2007, the trial court entered temporary orders and
set the next hearing in the matter for October 10, 2007. It is from this order that White
appeals.
Pursuant to section 105.001(e) of the Texas Family Code, the appeal is interlocutory
and cannot be appealed. TEX . FAM CODE ANN . 105.001(e) (Vernon Supp. 2006); See In
the Interest of N.J.G., 980 S.W.2d 764, 767 (Tex. App.–San Antonio 1998, no pet.).
Accordingly, without considering or addressing the issue of whether White timely
filed his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. TEX . R. APP. P.
42.3, 43.2(f).
