COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 02-11-00284-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.H., A
CHILD
----------
FROM THE 323RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant Mother attempts to appeal from the trial court’s order terminating
her parental rights to her son A.H. On October 25, 2011, we sent appellant’s
counsel a letter stating our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over this appeal
because it appeared that neither the trial court’s July 27, 2011 Order of
Termination nor the trial court’s October 17, 2011 Modified Order of Termination
disposed of intervenor James Herron. We informed appellant’s counsel that the
parties had until November 4, 2011, to furnish this court with a response showing
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
grounds for continuing the appeal or this appeal would be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant’s attorney filed a response,
agreeing that intervenor James Herron had not been disposed of in the trial
court’s orders and stating that Appellee Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services plans to set the intervenor’s pleading for trial. Because the
trial court’s orders currently before us do not dispose of all parties, there is no
final judgment. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See
Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); In re M.G.T., No. 02-10-00340-CV, 2011 WL
255542, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Jan. 27, 2011, no pet.) (mem. op.)
(dismissing appeal for want of jurisdiction because there was no final judgment).
