                                                 SECOND
DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                                                                 FORT
WORTH
 
 
                                        NO. 2-07-343-CV
 
 
IN THE INTEREST OF E.H.,
 
A MINOR CHILD
 
                                              ------------
 
           FROM THE 323RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
 
                                              ------------
 
                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------
Appellant M.J. appeals from the trial court=s order
awarding permanent managing conservatorship of her then seventeen-year-old son
E.H. to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.  The trial court did not order M.J. to pay
child support.  Because E.H.=s
eighteenth birthday was on May 29, 2008, there is no longer any live dispute.[2]  

We
therefore dismiss this appeal as moot.[3]
