IN THE INTEREST OF N.G.M., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-22-05861
Before Partida-Kipness, Reichek, and Miskel Justices.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
AMANDA L. REICHEK, JUSTICE.
This appeal was filed after the Office of the Attorney General filed a notice in the trial court that it was nonsuiting its petition to establish the parent-child relationship, the sole affirmative pleading in the underlying cause. Because nothing before us indicated the trial court had signed an order of nonsuit or other appealable order or judgment, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal. See Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments that dispose of all parties and claims and interlocutory orders authorized by statute to be appealed); see also Farmer v. Ben E. Keith Co., 907 S.W.2d 495, 496 (Tex. 1995) (per curiam) (appellate timetable runs from date judgment is signed, not form filing of pleading). Although we gave appellant an opportunity to demonstrate jurisdiction, he has failed to do so. Accordingly, on the record before us, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
JUDGMENT
Justices Partida-Kipness and Miskel participating.
In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, we DISMISS the appeal.
