                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                      CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

                 IN THE INTEREST OF R. A. K.
____________________________________________________________

             On Appeal from the 275th District Court
                   of Hidalgo County Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

   Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
           Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Valdez

      Appellant, Reyna Lee, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order on emergency

motion to extend temporary restraining order and order denying respondent’s plea to the

jurisdiction signed on August 16, 2018, in cause no. F-4311-18-E. Upon review of the

documents before the Court, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was taken

was not a final, appealable order. On August 20, 2018, the Clerk of this Court notified

appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be

done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 42.3.      Appellant was advised that, if the defect was
not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of the notice, the appeal would be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice.

       In terms of appellate jurisdiction, appellate courts only have jurisdiction to review

final judgments and certain interlocutory orders identified by statute. Lehmann v. Har-

Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001).

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to

correct the defect in this matter, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for

want of jurisdiction.     Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF

JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c).
