MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein Opinion by Chief Justice Burns This appeal was filed prematurely, before an appealable judgment was signed.
See Hinde v. Hinde, 701 S.W.2d 637, 639 (Tex. 1985) (per curiam) (to be appealable,
judgment must dispose of all parties and claims and be sufficiently definite and
certain to define and protect litigants’ rights). Ordered to show cause why the appeal
should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction, see Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a),
appellants responded by letter acknowledging that we lack jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id.
