NO. 14-03-00287-CV

JAMES ROBERT GARTMAN, Appellant

V.

FOLEY=S DEPARTMENT STORES DOWNTOWN, Appellee

On Appeal from the 11th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 02-59304

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant filed a notice of appeal on March 1, 2003; however, the notice of appeal does not mention a judgment or order from which appeal is taken.  The clerk=s record contains no appealable judgment or order.  On April 17, 2003, the Harris County District Clerk=s Office advised this court that no judgment had been signed in this cause.

Under Texas procedure appeals may be had only from final orders or judgments.  Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992).  A final judgment is one which disposes of all legal issues between all parties.  Id.

On May 23, 2003, 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 filed no response.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Judgment rendered and Opinion filed June 19, 2003.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Seymore, and Guzman.
