Jessica McDaniel, Appellant v. Adan Gonzalez, Appellee
On Appeal from the 415th District Court Parker County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-23-1671
Before Kerr, Birdwell, and Bassel, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Elizabeth Kerr, Justice
Jessica McDaniel-proceeding pro se-attempts to appeal from the mediated settlement agreement that she, Appellee Adan Gonzalez, and their attorneys signed to resolve McDaniel and Gonzalez's divorce. The trial-court clerk informed us that the trial-court judge had not signed an order in this case. We thus wrote to McDaniel to notify her that it appeared that her notice of appeal was premature because there was no final judgment or appealable order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), 27.1(a). We gave the parties until May 17, 2024, to provide us with a signed copy of the order that McDaniel wanted to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3, 44.4(a)(2). We warned the parties that if they failed to do so, we would dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
The trial court granted McDaniel's trial counsel's motion to withdraw on May 16, 2024.
We have received no response, and neither McDaniel nor any other party has provided us with a signed copy of a final judgment or appealable order. We thus dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); Bothe v. City of Fort Worth, No. 02-22-00490-CV, 2023 WL 1456929, at *1 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth Feb. 2, 2023, no pet.) (mem. op.) (dismissing appeal for want of jurisdiction because trial court had not signed final judgment or appealable order); see also Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (explaining that an appellate court has jurisdiction over appeals from final judgments and from certain interlocutory orders made appealable by statute).
