                         IN THE INTEREST OF M.A.A., A CHILD

                      On Appeal from the 382nd Judicial District Court
                                  Rockwall County, Texas
                              Trial Court Cause No. 1-15-76

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart
                                  Opinion by Justice Francis

       This is an appeal from the trial court's April 28, 2015 and June 10, 2015 orders denying

appellant's motions to recuse the trial judge. Because no final judgment has been entered, and an

order denying a motion to recuse is appealable only upon final judgment, we directed appellant

to file a letter brief addressing our jurisdiction. See TEX. R. Civ. P. 18aU)(1)(A); Ogletree v.

Matthews, 262 S. W.3d 316, 319 n.l (Tex. 2007) ("Texas appellate courts have jurisdiction only

over final orders or judgments unless a statute permits an interlocutory appeal."). Although

appellant complied, she has failed to show the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
