MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court signed a final order, terminating appellant's parental rights on October 24, 2005. In January and February 2006, appellant filed in the trial court motions to dismiss the petition of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services under section 263.401 of the Family Code. Because a final order had already been signed, the trial judge notified appellant by letter, dated February 20, 2006, that a final order had been signed on October 24, 2005, and denied appellant's request for a hearing on the motions. On February 27, 2006, appellant filed a "Notice of Interlocutory Accelerated Appeal," which states that appellant is appealing a "February 22, 2006 Order implicitly denying [appellant's] motion seeking relief pursuant to V.T.C.A. Family Code § 263.401."
The record reveals no appealable orders signed on February 22, 2006. The trial court advised appellant by letter dated February 20, 2006, that appellant's motions were denied, but this letter ruling on the motions is not an appealable order or judgment.
On March 14, 2006, notification was transmitted to all parties of the Court's intent to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). Appellant's response fails to demonstrate that this Court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
