No. 08-07-00268-CV Appeal from the 383rd District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2007CM5267) |
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Jessica Cisneros, is attempting to appeal from the trial court's entry of temporary orders in this child custody action. Appellant filed her notice of appeal on September 5, 2007. Pending before the Court on its own motion is the dismissal of this appeal for want of jurisdiction because there is no final judgment or appealable order.
This Court possesses the authority to dismiss an appeal for want of jurisdiction after giving proper notice to all parties. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3. By letter dated September 18, 2007, the clerk of this Court notified Appellant that pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, this Court does not have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellant was advised that this appeal would be dismissed unless any party could show cause for continuing the appeal within ten days from the date of the receipt of the clerk's letter. Appellant has not responded to the Court's notice. Accordingly, because there is no appealable order and/or judgment, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a).
