EX PARTE P. B., Appellant
From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016CI09461
Honorable Rosie Alvarado, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant has filed a pro se notice of appeal stating that he wishes to appeal "the trial court's judgment that was delivered on June 15, 2017." The clerk's record does not reflect that the trial court has signed a judgment in this case. Instead, included in the clerk's record are handwritten "Judge's Notes" dated June 15, 2017. This Court has held that "[a] judge's handwritten notes are for his or her own convenience and form no part of the record." In re L.H., No. 04-13-00174-CV, 2013 WL 3804585, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 17, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.) (citing In re A.W., 384 S.W.3d 872, 873 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2012, no pet.)). In other words, judge's notes do not constitute an appealable order. See id.
We therefore ORDER appellant to show cause on or before September 7, 2017 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
