Appeal from the 65th District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2017DCM6259) MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Michael Nelson, is attempting to appeal from an order requiring him to participate in services, including parenting classes, pursuant to Section 264.203 of the Texas Family Code. See TEX.FAM.CODE ANN. § 264.203 (West 2014). Finding that the interlocutory order is not appealable, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

It is well settled that appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and interlocutory orders made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corporation, 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); TEX.CIV.PRAC. &REM.CODE ANN. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2017)(authorizing appeals from certain interlocutory orders). The Clerk of the Court sent Appellant notice that the Court intended to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because there is no final judgment or appealable order unless he responded within ten days and established grounds for the appeal to continue. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.3(a). Appellant has not filed any response to the Court's inquiry. The trial court has not entered a final judgment in this case and we have found no authority for an appeal of an order entered pursuant to Section 264.203. According, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
