                         _______________________________

                                Order of Dismissal
                        ________________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

       Preston Jerome White attempts to appeal from temporary orders entered in a suit

affecting the parent-child relationship. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

       The record before us reveals that the Texas Department of Family and Protective

Services filed a petition seeking appointment as temporary managing conservator of

W.L.D.W., a minor child. On August 22, 2007, the trial court entered temporary orders and

set the next hearing in the matter for October 10, 2007. It is from this order that White

appeals.

       Pursuant to section 105.001(e) of the Texas Family Code, the appeal is interlocutory

and cannot be appealed. TEX . FAM CODE ANN . 105.001(e) (Vernon Supp. 2006); See In

the Interest of N.J.G., 980 S.W.2d 764, 767 (Tex. App.–San Antonio 1998, no pet.).
       Accordingly, without considering or addressing the issue of whether White timely

filed his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. TEX . R. APP. P.

42.3, 43.2(f).
