                  IN THE INTEREST OF R.D.W., A CHILD

               On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Smith
                            Opinion by Justice Smith

      This appeal follows the associate judge’s hearing in a family law matter.
Because an appeal from an associate judge’s ruling is to the referring court, and not
the court of appeals, see TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 201.015, we questioned our
jurisdiction over the appeal. Although we gave appellant an opportunity to show
cause why the appeal should not be dismissed and cautioned her that failure to do so
by June 21, 2021 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice,
appellant has not responded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). Accordingly, on the
record before us, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).
