IN THE INTEREST OF M.C.L.V, A CHILD


From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-PA-01657 Kimberly Burley, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief justice

On July 9, 2021, appellants filed a notice of appeal stating their intent to appeal a final decree of termination signed on June 10, 2021. The clerk's record was filed on July 26, 2021. Although the clerk's record contains the judge's notes, the clerk's record does 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 received 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, appellants are 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.
