TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00153-CV
A. G., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 22ND DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY
NO. C2019-0144A, THE HONORABLE MELISSA MCCLENAHAN, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 28, 2019, this Court abated this appeal after appellant informed us that
her pleading entitled, “Notice of Appeal from Associate Judge’s Hearing and Request for
Hearing De Novo,” was mistakenly filed in this Court as a notice of appeal and was instead a
request for the district court to hold a de novo hearing in the Department’s suit seeking
termination of A.G.’s parental rights. We have now received a status report from appellant
indicating that a de novo hearing in the district court is set for April 17, 2019. We have also
learned that the associate judge’s order relates only to one issue in the suit and is thus an
unappealable interlocutory order. An “initial permanency hearing before final order” is set for
July 9, 2019. Under these circumstances, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
