S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00387-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF R.D.W., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-08-11577
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Smith
Opinion by Justice Smith
This appeal follows the associate judge’s hearing in a family law matter.
Because an appeal from an associate judge’s ruling is to the referring court, and not
the court of appeals, see TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 201.015, we questioned our
jurisdiction over the appeal. Although we gave appellant an opportunity to show
cause why the appeal should not be dismissed and cautioned her that failure to do so
by June 21, 2021 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice,
appellant has not responded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). Accordingly, on the
record before us, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).
