IN THE INTEREST OF M.A.A., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 382nd Judicial District Court
Rockwall County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1-15-76
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Francis
This is an appeal from the trial court’s April 28, 2015 and June 10, 2015 orders denying
appellant’s motions to recuse the trial judge. Because no final judgment has been entered, and an
order denying a motion to recuse is appealable only upon final judgment, we directed appellant
to file a letter brief addressing our jurisdiction. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 18a(j)(1)(A); Ogletree v.
Matthews, 262 S.W.3d 316, 319 n.1 (Tex. 2007) (“Texas appellate courts have jurisdiction only
over final orders or judgments unless a statute permits an interlocutory appeal.”). Although
appellant complied, she has failed to show the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
