SUSANNE HURD, APPELLANT

V.

JAMES HURD, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Number 2 Randall County, Texas Trial Court No. 71,814-L2; Honorable Matthew C. Martindale, Presiding

December 21, 2021

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE and DOSS, JJ.

Appellant, Susanne Hurd, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal in the

referenced cause without identifying the judgment or order from which she seeks to

appeal. The trial court clerk has confirmed that no judgment has been issued and the

case remains pending. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Our appellate jurisdiction is limited to appeals from final judgments and

interlocutory orders made appealable by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39

S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998) (per

curiam). By letter of December 1, 2021, we notified Hurd that it did not appear a final

judgment or appealable order had been issued by the trial court and directed her to show

how we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Although Hurd filed a response, she has not

demonstrated grounds for continuing the appeal.

Because Hurd has not presented this court with a final judgment or appealable

order, her appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
