SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 02-12-00374-CV
IN THE MATTER OF J.A.H.
----------
FROM THE 323RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant J.A.H. filed a notice of appeal two months after the Eighth
District Court of Appeals issued a memorandum opinion affirming a trial court
order transferring J.A.H.’s custody to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–
Institutional Division. See In re J.A.H., No. 08-11-00115-CV, 2012 WL 2673252,
at *1 (Tex. App.—El Paso July 5, 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.). On September 21,
2012, we notified J.A.H. of our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over
this appeal because there was no appealable order, and we informed him that
the appeal would be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue the

appeal filed with the court, on or before October 1, 2012, a response showing
grounds for continuing the appeal. We have not received a response.
Generally, appellate courts have jurisdiction over appeals from final
judgments and certain appealable interlocutory orders. Lehmann v. Har-Con
Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 200 (Tex. 2001); see Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann.
§ 51.014 (West Supp. 2012). Because there is no final judgment or appealable
interlocutory order from which J.A.H. appeals, we dismiss this appeal for want of
jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
