IN THE INTEREST OF C.M.L., A

MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant P.D.L. filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s May 30, 2013
order granting a plea in abatement. On August 28, 2013, we notified P.D.L. of
our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the order granting
the plea is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order. See
Harper v. Welchem, Inc., 799 S.W.2d 492, 496 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]
1990, no writ). We informed P.D.L. that the appeal would be dismissed for want
of jurisdiction unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a

response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. P.D.L. filed a response,
but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss
this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
