Kyle Holland, Appellant v. Kristine Scroggie, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 261ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-FM-03-000048, HONORABLE ANDREW J. HATHCOCK, JUDGE PRESIDINGMEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Kyle Holland filed a notice of appeal in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. See Tex. Fam. Code §§ 151.001-162.602. According to Holland, he seeks to appeal two interlocutory rulings: (1) the denial of his request for county funds to take depositions; and (2) the denial of his request for a free transcript of certain proceedings in this case.
The appellate jurisdiction of this Court is limited to the review of final judgments and certain interlocutory orders. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012, .014; Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Based on the record before us, it appears that the trial court has not yet rendered a final judgment in this case. Further, none of the rulings that Holland seeks to appeal are subject to interlocutory appeal under Section 51.014. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(a). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
The Clerk of this Court notified Holland by letter that this Court may lack jurisdiction to consider his appeal. Although Holland responded to the letter, he did not provide a legal basis for asserting jurisdiction over his appeal. --------
