                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Appellant filed a notice

of appeal, in which he stated that he wishes to appeal from the trial court’s

“decision[.]” The information from the District Clerk indicates that the trial court

has not yet signed an appealable order.

      On July 22, 2020, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal and

instructed the parties to file written responses identifying the particular statute or

rule authorizing an interlocutory appeal by August 11, 2020. In the same letter, we

warned the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless our jurisdiction is

established.

                                          1
      Appellant filed a response, but he failed to identify a signed order by the trial

court that is appealable at this time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
