Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
September 25, 2020
No. 04-20-00452-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.L.H., S.S.H., H.R.H., H.L.H., V.A.P., R.J.R., CHILDREN
From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019PA02055
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On September 10, 2020, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a
final decree of termination that appellant contends was orally rendered on August 13, 2020. The
clerk’s record does not contain a signed final order terminating appellant’s parental rights. “[A]n
appeal may be prosecuted only from a final judgment.” N.E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400
S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966).
Because it appears no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is
ORDERED to show cause in writing no later than October 5, 2020 why this appeal should not
be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to timely respond, this appeal will be
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
