Summary
dismissing appeal as moot after trial court granted motion for new trial
Summary of this case from In re A.R.Opinion
NO. 02-12-00051-CV
03-22-2012
IN THE INTEREST OF C.D.E., A CHILD
FROM THE 158TH DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal from the trial court's January 30, 2012 "Final Order Of Termination." The trial court subsequently granted appellant's motion for new trial on February 29, 2012, while it still had plenary jurisdiction over the case. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(e).
On February 29, 2012, we informed the parties that it appeared the trial court's granting of the motion for new trial rendered this appeal moot and that the appeal would be dismissed as moot unless, on or before March 12, 2012, any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Neither party filed a response.
Therefore, on this court's own motion, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
