                                      No. 04-14-00364-CV

    IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF A.L.F.L. AND K.L.L., AND IN THE
                     INTEREST OF K.A.F.L., A CHILD,

                  From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2014-CI-02421
                    Honorable Barbara Hanson Nellermoe, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
        This is an accelerated appeal. Appellee has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal,
contending we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the trial court granted appellee’s motion
to strike appellant, The State of Texas, as a party to the underlying suit. Appellant responded,
contending it was a party at the time it filed the notice of appeal because it filed an amended plea
in intervention before it filed its notice of appeal. We have reviewed appellee’s motion and
appellant’s response. Based on our review, we ORDER appellee’s motion to dismiss carried
with the appeal.

                                                     _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 2nd day of July, 2014.
