PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
                  Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
                  Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 3, 2024

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

           On January 8, 2024, appellant filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an interlocutory

order. “Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider immediate appeals of interlocutory orders

only if a statute explicitly provides appellate jurisdiction.” Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-

53 (Tex. 1998). Because no statute explicitly authorizes an appeal from the interlocutory order in

question—an order denying a motion to vacate an order confirming child support arrearage—we

ordered appellant to show cause in writing why we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellant

filed a response, but it fails to establish our jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal

is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
