MEMORANDUM OPINION


This is an appeal from a decree of termination signed June 7, 2011. On June 14, 2011, the trial court granted appellant's motion for new trial.

A trial court has plenary power over its judgment until it becomes final. Fruehauf Corp. v. Carrillo, 848 S.W.2d 83, 84 (Tex. 1993). The trial court also retains continuing control over interlocutory orders and has the power to set those orders aside any time before a final judgment is entered. Id. An order granting a new trial is an unappealable, interlocutory order. Id.

On October 4, 2011, notification was transmitted to all parties of the Court's intent to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant filed no response.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
