IN THE INTEREST OF M.S., B.R., E.R., O.R., AND A.E.R.

Montgomery County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The appellants filed a notice of appeal from temporary orders in a suit
affecting the parent-child relationship. We notified the parties that the notice of
appeal did not identify a judgment or appealable order. We instructed the parties to
identify the judgment or order being appealed, and warned that the appeal would
be subject to dismissal if they failed to file a response by June 21, 2013. No
response has been filed.
Generally, an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment. Lehmann v.
Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Temporary orders in suit
1
affecting the parent-child relationship “are not subject to interlocutory appeal.”
Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 105.001 (West 2008). The appellants have not shown that
a statute authorizes an appeal at this time. Furthermore, the appellants did not file a
response within the time set by the Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. We dismiss the
appeal. Id.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
