Tejas Dubey v. Rashmi Khurana

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-26-00600-CV

Tejas Dubey, Appellant

v.

Rashmi Khurana, Appellee

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 25-1362-FC1, THE HONORABLE BRANDY HALLFORD, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Tejas Dubey appeals the trial court’s June 30, 2026 Order on Motion to Reconsider in the underlying divorce and suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Appellee Rashmi Khurana filed a motion to dismiss this appeal asserting that this Court lacks jurisdiction over the appealed order denying Dubey’s motion for reconsideration because it is neither a final judgment disposing of the whole case nor a statutorily authorized interlocutory appeal. We agree.

In general, this Court’s jurisdiction is limited to appeals in which there exists a final or appealable judgment or order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012 (addressing appeals from final judgments), .014 (addressing interlocutory appeals); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (stating general rule that appeal may be taken only from final judgment that disposes of all pending claims and parties in record unless statute provides for interlocutory appeal). The trial court’s June 30, 2026 order is not a final judgment that disposes

2

of all parties and claims, and no statute provides for an interlocutory appeal from that order. Accordingly, we grant Khurana’s motion and dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
