From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2021CI10840
Honorable Aaron Haas, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On June 1, 2021, appellant filed his original petition in the trial court. The clerk’s record
reflects appellees have not to date appeared in the trial court. On January 27, 2022, appellant
filed an amended application for an ex parte temporary restraining order. On February 2, 2022,
the trial court signed an order denying the application for an ex parte temporary restraining order
“because the Court is of the belief that it does not have the authority to grant the relief sought.”
The following day, appellant filed a notice of appeal.
Appellate courts do not have jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals in the absence of a
statutory provision permitting such an appeal. CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex.
2011); Tex. A & M Univ. Sys. v. Koseoglu, 233 S.W.3d 835, 840 (Tex. 2007). Although section
51.014 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code authorizes interlocutory appeals of
denials of temporary injunctions, “[a] temporary restraining order is generally not appealable.” In
re Tex. Nat. Res. Conservation Comm’n, 85 S.W.3d 201, 205 (Tex. 2002) (citing Del Valle
Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Lopez, 845 S.W.2d 808, 809 (Tex. 1992)). We therefore ORDER appellant to
show cause no later than February 25, 2022 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack
of jurisdiction. All appellate deadlines are suspended pending further order of this court.
