In The No. 05-21-01047-CV IN THE INTEREST OF A.G. AND V.G., CHILDREN On Appeal from the 469th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 469-52594-2016 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Molberg, and Pedersen, III
Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
This appeal challenges the trial court’s interlocutory orders denying appellant’s special appearance and second motion to transfer venue filed in connection with a petition to modify the parent-child relationship. It is well-settled, however, that interlocutory orders are appealable only if authorized by statute. See Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps , 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992). Interlocutory appeals from a special appearance order in a suit brought under the family code and an order refusing to transfer a suit affecting parent-child relationship are specifically prohibited. See EX . C IV . P RAC . & R EM . C ODE A NN . § 51.014(a)(7) (special appearance); T F AM C ODE NN . § 155.204(h) (transfer). In response to our *2 request for jurisdictional briefing, the parties do not dispute the orders are not appealable. [1] Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See R. PP P. 42.3(a).
