Appellant, Joseph Daniel Monk, filed a  motion to modify the terms of a
conservatorship order, and in response, appellee, Lisa Jo Monk, filed a special
appearance.  On November 21, 2003, the
trial court signed an order declining jurisdiction and staying appellant=s motion pursuant to Texas Family
Code Section 152.207(c).  See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. ' 152.207(c) (Vernon 2002).  Appellant then brought this appeal.

On February 24, 2004, appellant filed a motion to dismiss the
appeal because the order being appealed is not subject to interlocutory
appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1.  The grant or denial of a special appearance
in a case brought under the Texas Family Code is not subject to interlocutory
appeal.  Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. ' 51.014(a)(7) (Vernon Supp.
2004).  The motion is granted.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
