Latosha Diggles v. Dick Law Firm. PLLC, Eric B. Dick, Lindsay Law Firm, PLLC, Texas Farmers Insurance Company

Opinion

Opinion issued December 12, 2024

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

Generally, appellate courts have jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments unless a statute authorizes an interlocutory appeal. CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447–48 (Tex. 2011); see N.Y. Underwriters Ins. Co. v. Sanchez, 799 S.W.2d 677, 679–80 (Tex. 1990) (citing N.E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 200 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966) (“In the absence of a special statute making an interlocutory order appealable, a judgment must dispose of all issues and parties in the case . . . to be final and appealable.”). The order appellant seeks to appeal is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order. Thus, we lack jurisdiction over appellants’ attempted appeal. See In re M.G., No. 01–05–00426– CV, 2006 WL 1549754, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] June 8, 2006, no pet.) (mem. op.) (“When a party attempts to appeal a non-appealable interlocutory order, appellate courts have no jurisdiction except to declare the interlocutory nature of the order and to dismiss the appeal.”) (citations omitted).

The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal for lack of jurisdiction unless a written response was provided demonstrating that this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. Appellant failed to adequately respond.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
