IN THE INTEREST OF L.S.K. AND M.Z.M., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 305th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JC-17-00618-X
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Boatright
This is an appeal in a child protection and parental termination case. The clerk's record does not contain a final judgment. Generally, only final judgments may be appealed. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). We asked the parties to file briefing on whether we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellant responded with a "motion for accelerated interlocutory appeal to dissolve order." She did not contend there is a final judgment in this case. Instead, she cited a series of state and federal statutes, none of which is relevant. Because we do not have jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
