From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2020PA00099
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an appeal in a parental-termination case. On November 20, 2020, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating his intent to appeal a "judgment or other appealable order" dated November 9, 2020. The clerk's record filed on December 2, 2020 does not contain a signed final order terminating appellant's parental rights. "[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 it appears no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing no later than December 23, 2020, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to timely respond, this appeal will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
