IN THE INTEREST OF A.H.L., et al, children
From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-PA-00021 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
REBECA C. MARTINEZ, CHIEF JUSTICE.
On December 30, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a final decree of termination signed on or about December 7, 2021. The clerk's record was filed on January 10, 2022, and does not contain an order terminating appellant's parental rights. In response to this court's inquiry, the trial court clerk confirmed the trial court has not received a final order. Generally, "an appeal may be prosecuted only from a final judgment." N.E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966). Because no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing within ten days from the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 19th day of January, 2022.
