Trent Davis, Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee (2010)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant Trent Davis, appearing pro se, seeks to appeal from the trial court's order granting his trial counsel's agreed motion to withdraw.¹  This Court's jurisdiction is limited to the review of final judgments and certain interlocutory orders signed by the trial court.   See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.012 (West Supp.2010), § 51.014 (West 2008);  see also Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex.2001).   A trial court's order granting a motion to withdraw is not an appealable interlocutory order.   See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014. No appealable judgment or order appears in the record.   Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
