                                       MEMORANDUM OPINION

         The children’s mother filed this appeal after an order was entered terminating her parental
rights. The parties have now filed in this court an agreed emergency motion to dismiss this
appeal for want of jurisdiction. The motion is signed by counsel for the mother, counsel for the
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and the attorney ad litem for the children.
In the motion, the parties agree that the underlying order of termination is void ab initio and that
there is no final, appealable order for this court to review. Pursuant to the parties’ request, we
dismiss the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1.
         The agreed motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
