MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00614-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF M.R.B., et al., Children
From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11-0988-CV
Honorable Karin Bonicoro, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 5, 2011
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant seeks to appeal a status hearing order in a parental termination proceeding. A
status hearing order is not an appealable order. See In re J.H., No. 09-05-015-CV, 2005 WL
623230, at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Mar. 17, 2005, no pet.); see also TEX. FAM. CODE ANN.
§ 263.405 (West 2008) (authorizing appeal of a final order in a termination proceeding).
On August 30, 2011, appellant was ordered to show cause in writing why this appeal
should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The deadline for appellant’s response was
September 14, 2011. No response was filed. Because this court does not have jurisdiction to
04-11-00614-CV
consider the order appellant seeks to appeal, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
Costs of the appeal are taxed against appellant.
