In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-01141-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.M.M., L.R.M. AND A.A.M, CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 304th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JC-18-00113-W
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Stoddart, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
This is an appeal in a parental termination case. In the notice of appeal, Father generally
complains about the removal process and actions by certain individuals. No final judgment has
been signed, nor has a final trial been held.
Because appeals may generally be taken only from final judgments, we questioned our
jurisdiction over the appeal and directed Father to file a letter brief addressing our concern. See
Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). More than ten days have passed
and, although we cautioned Father that failure to file the requested letter brief could result in
dismissal of the appeal, Father has not responded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c). Because no
final judgment has been signed, we dismiss the appeal. Id. 42.3(a); Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d 195.
