INT OF N.N.M, J.J.C., JR. AKA J.J.S-M., children
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-PA-00916 Honorable Kimberly Burley, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On August 1, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating her intent to appeal an "order of termination or conservatorship . . . signed on July 27, 2022 by the Honorable Associate Judge Kimberly Burley." The clerk's record was filed on August 11, 2022. 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 stated there is no signed 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 it appears no final order has been entered in the underlying case, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing no later than September 12, 2022 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. All other appellate deadlines are held in abeyance pending further order of this court.
It is so ORDERED on this 31st day of August, 2022.
