IN THE INTEREST OF E. S. P., C. S.P., U. A. S. P., Children


From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022-PA-00931 Honorable Raul Perales, Judge Presiding

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

On October 26, 2023, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal a final decree of termination signed on October 23, 2023. The clerk's record was filed on November 3, 2023. Although the clerk's record contains the judge's notes, the clerk's record did not contain an order terminating appellant's parental rights. See In re L.H., No. 04-13-00174-CV, 2013 WL 3804585, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio July 17, 2013, no pet.) (noting judge's notes do not constitute a final order) (mem. op.). In response to this court's inquiry, the trial court clerk confirmed the trial court has not signed a final order. "[A]n 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 no later than November 16, 2023 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

It is so ORDERED.
