                        Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

               IN THE INTEREST OF C.N. AND J.N., MINOR CHILDREN

                      On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Bridges, Evans, and Schenck
                                  Opinion by Justice Bridges
       By notice of appeal filed August 26, 2016, appellant challenges the trial court’s August

23, 2016 order denying his application for a restraining order. Because the order did not appear

to be appealable, we directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing the Court’s jurisdiction

over the appeal. See Nikolouzos v. St. Luke’s Episcopal Hosp., 162 S.W.3d 678, 680 (Tex.

App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2005, no pet.) (“While an interlocutory appeal from the grant or

denial of a temporary injunction is allowed, no statutory provision permits an appeal from a

temporary restraining order.”). We cautioned appellant that failure to comply could result in

dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). More than ten

days have lapsed since we directed appellant to file the letter brief, and he has not responded.
Because nothing in the record before us demonstrates our jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal.

See id. 42.3(a); Nikolouzos, 162 S.W.3d at 680.
