   IN THE INTEREST OF I.I., A CHILD

  On Appeal from the 360th District Court
          Tarrant County, Texas
      Trial Court No. 360-734025-23

 Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ.
 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Womack
                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Appellant C.I. attempts to appeal from the trial court’s “Temporary Restraining

Order with Extraordinary Relief and Order Setting Hearing for Temporary Orders”

(the Order). On May 17, 2023, we notified Appellant of our concern that we lack

jurisdiction over this appeal because the Order does not appear to be a final judgment

or appealable interlocutory order. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195,

200 (Tex. 2001) (holding that, generally, appeals may be taken only from final

judgments or interlocutory orders authorized by statute); see also Tex. Fam. Code Ann.

§ 105.001(e) (providing that temporary orders in suits affecting the parent–child

relationship are not subject to an interlocutory appeal); In re Abbott, 601 S.W.3d 802,

813 (Tex. 2020) (noting that temporary restraining orders are not appealable). We

informed her that unless she or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a

response by May 29, 2023, showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we could

dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.          See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3.

Appellant has not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of

jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
