in the Interest of O.R. and M.R., Children ( 2018 )

COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-18-00183-CV IN THE INTEREST OF O.R. AND M.R., CHILDREN ------------ FROM THE 211TH DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 16-07740-211 ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT ------------ Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal from the trial court’s May 8, 2018 “Order of Termination.” The trial court subsequently granted appellant’s motion for new trial on July 2, 2018, while it still had plenary jurisdiction over the case. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(e). On July 9, 2018, we informed the parties that it appeared the trial court’s granting of the motion for new trial rendered this appeal moot and that the appeal 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. would be dismissed as moot unless, on or before July 19, 2018, any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Neither party filed a response. Accordingly, on this court’s own motion, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM PANEL: BIRDWELL, GABRIEL, and KERR, JJ. DELIVERED: July 26, 2018 2
