(c) A temporary order rendered under this section is not subject to interlocutory appeal. (d) The court may not suspend under Subsection (a)(6) the operation of an order or judgment terminating the parent-child relationship in a suit brought by the state or a political subdivision of the state permitted by law to bring the suit.
