                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Minor Reeder filed a notice of appeal from an interlocutory order modifying

residency requirements of his civil commitment order. We conclude the

interlocutory order is not appealable and that mandamus relief is not warranted.

      This Court has no appellate jurisdiction over the interlocutory order. See In

re Commitment of Cortez, No. 09-12-00385-CV, 2013 WL 3270613 (Tex. App.—

Beaumont June 27, 2013, no pet. h.). We have reviewed the merits of the issues to

determine whether mandamus relief is appropriate. We considered these same

arguments and issues in Cortez and rejected them. See id. For the reasons



                                         1
explained in Cortez, we conclude mandamus relief is not appropriate. We dismiss

the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
