IN THE INTEREST OF J.V., A MINOR CHILD
MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
Appellant attempts to appeal from several trial court rulings occurring in this case and in a separate case also pending in a Cooke County court. The trial court clerk notified this court that an order relating to the matters Appellant challenges has not been entered in this case. We sent Appellant a notice that there was no final or otherwise appealable order in the case and gave the parties until August 8, 2017, to correct the defect in the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), 27.1(a), 44.3, 44.4(a)(2). No party timely responded to our notice or corrected the defect.
We have jurisdiction to consider appeals only from final judgments or from interlocutory orders where a statute explicitly provides appellate jurisdiction. See CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. 2011). Because we have been presented with neither, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, 43.2(f).
