in the Interest of H.C., a Child

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-18-00381-CV ___________________________ IN THE INTEREST OF H.C., A CHILD On Appeal from the 322nd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 322-378157-04 Before Sudderth, C.J.; Gabriel and Kerr, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Mother attempts to appeal the trial court’s November 8, 2018 order granting her request for a new trial. By letter dated December 5, 2018, we informed Mother of our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because the November 8 order does not appear to be a final judgment or an appealable interlocutory order. See Fruehauf Corp. v. Carrillo, 848 S.W.2d 83, 84 (Tex. 1993) (“An order granting a new trial is an unappealable, interlocutory order.”). We requested that Mother or any other party desiring to continue the appeal file a response by Monday, December 17, 2018, showing grounds for continuing the appeal and cautioned that a failure to do so could result in a dismissal of the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Mother has filed a response, but it does not provide grounds for continuing this appeal. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. /s/ Bonnie Sudderth Bonnie Sudderth Chief Justice Delivered: January 17, 2019 2
