MEMORANDUM OPINION
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4.
Appellant M.J. appeals from the trial court's order awarding permanent managing conservatorship of her then seventeen-year-old son E.H. to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The trial court did not order M.J. to pay child support. Because E.H.'s eighteenth birthday was on May 29, 2008, there is no longer any live dispute.
See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 101.003 (defining child as " a person under 18 years of age who is not and has not been married or who has not had the disabilities of minority removed for general purposes") (emphasis added), 263.404 (providing that ([t]he court may render a final order appointing the department as managing conservator of the child') (Vernon 2002) (emphasis added).
We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot.
