NO. 12-15-00126-CV
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
IN THE INTEREST OF T. W., § APPEAL FROM THE 392ND
C. W., JR., W. W., S. W. AND D. W., § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
CHILDREN § HENDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
S.W. filed a pro se notice of appeal in this parental rights termination case, stating that she
is “appealing all hearings from the beginning of this cause til the present.”
It is well settled that appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and
interlocutory orders made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191,
195 (Tex. 2001); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014 (West 2015) (authorizing appeals
from certain interlocutory orders). A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and
claims. See Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195.
The district clerk has informed this court that no final judgment or other appealable order
has been signed in the case. On June 24, 2015, this court sent a letter to S.W. notifying her that it
appears there is no final judgment or order in the case. S.W. was warned that the appeal would be
dismissed unless, on or before July 6, 2015, the information in the appeal was amended to show
the jurisdiction of this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. The July 6, 2015 deadline has passed, and
the information in this appeal has not been amended to show this court’s jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
Opinion delivered July 8, 2015.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

Today we also dismissed an appeal by D.G.M., which was filed under this appellate cause number
(12-15-00126-CV). D.G.M. and S.W. were the only parties attempting to appeal. Therefore, this appeal has been
dismissed in its entirety.
