IN THE INTEREST OF M.A.H., A CHILD

 

 

 

On Appeal from the 310th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 05-58700

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal from an interlocutory order signed February 21, 2006, after a permanency hearing in a suit by the Department of Family and Protective Services seeking termination of the parental rights of appellant Erica Haywood to her child, M.A.H.[1]  No final judgment of termination has been entered.  The permanency order states that trial is scheduled for June 13, 2006.


The Texas Family Code permits a party to appeal Aa final order@ in a suit affecting the parent‑child relationship.  Tex. Fam. Code Ann. ' 109.002(b) (Vernon 2002);  see also Tex. Fam. Code Ann. ' 105.001(e) (Vernon Supp.2005) (ATemporary orders rendered under this section are not subject to interlocutory appeal.@).  Thus, the interlocutory order in this case is not subject to appeal and we are without jurisdiction to consider it.

On April 11, 2006, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court=s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).  Appellant filed no response.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
