In the Interest of T. W., C. W., JR., W. W., S. W. and D. W., Children
MEMORANDUM OPINION
S.W. filed a pro se notice of appeal in this parental rights termination case, stating that she is “appealing all hearings from the beginning of this cause til the present.”
It is well settled that appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and interlocutory orders made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex.2001); Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014 (West 2015) (authorizing appeals from certain interlocutory orders). A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. See Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195.
The district clerk has informed this court that no final judgment or other appealable order has been signed in the case. On June 24, 2015, this court sent a letter to S.W. notifying her that it appears there is no final judgment or order in the case. S.W. was warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or before July 6, 2015, the information in the appeal was amended to show the jurisdiction of this court. See Tex.R.App. P. 42.3. The July 6, 2015 deadline has passed, and the information in this appeal has not been amended to show this court's jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.1 See Tex.R.App. P. 42.3(b).
FOOTNOTES
1. Today we also dismissed an appeal by D.G.M., which was filed under this appellate cause number (12–15–00126–CV). D.G.M. and S.W. were the only parties attempting to appeal. Therefore, this appeal has been dismissed in its entirety.
