LARRY STEVEN JONES, JR. APPELLANT v. MARICEL COMULLO JONES APPELLEE
COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
Larry Steven Jones, Jr. is attempting to appeal from the trial court's ruling granting a protective order against him. Although we informed appellant of our concern that we do not have jurisdiction of the appeal because the order appears to be interlocutory and not appealable, we have not received a response.
A protective order rendered while a divorce proceeding is pending is not a final judgment that can be appealed, nor is it an appealable interlocutory order. Kiefer v. Kiefer, 132 S.W.3d 601, 602 (Tex.App.--Fort Worth 2004, no pet.); see Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon 2008). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
PANEL: LIVINGSTON, C.J.; DAUPHINOT and GARDNER, JJ.
DELIVERED: December 30, 2010
