MEMORANDUM OPINION1
------------
On February 26, 2013, this court sent the parties a letter about its renewed
concern that it lacked jurisdiction over the appeal in cause number 02-12-00400-
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
CV, pertaining to A.G., because the order of termination did not appear to be a
final, appealable order and because the case remained pending in the trial court.
We requested that the appellants or any party desiring to continue the appeal file
with the court on or before March 8, 2013, a response showing grounds for
continuing the appeal or we would sever this appeal from cause number 02-12-
00384-CV, pertaining to K.R.G., and dismiss the appeal in cause number 02-12-
00400-CV for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Although
both appellants have filed responses in this court, neither response shows
grounds for continuing the appeal in cause number 02-12-00400-CV. Cf.
Lehman v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (“[T]he general rule,
with a few mostly statutory exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from
a final judgment.”). Therefore, we sever the appeal in cause number 02-12-
00384-CV from the appeal in cause number 02-12-00400-CV, and we dismiss
the appeal in cause number 02-12-00400-CV for want of jurisdiction.
