IN THE INTEREST OF L.T. AND M.T., CHILDREN
FROM THE 235TH DISTRICT COURT OF COOKE COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. CV16-00467 MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
On April 6, 2018, appellant M.L. filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's March 26, 2018 order granting appellee the Department of Family and Protective Services a partial new trial, retaining the suit on its docket, and setting hearing dates. Because the order did not appear to be a final or otherwise appealable interlocutory order, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless any party responded showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, 44.3. M.L., apparently recognizing that we do not have jurisdiction to review the March 26 order, responded that she would seek mandamus relief from the order instead. Because we do not have jurisdiction over the trial court's interlocutory order, which is not immediately appealable, we dismiss M.L.'s attempted appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, 43.2(f); In re C.G., No. 02-16-00062-CV, 2016 WL 1393386, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Apr. 7, 2016, no pet.) (mem. op.).
