TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

Timothy Joe Emerson, Appellant

v.

Sacha Emerson, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 119TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. B-98-0939-F, HONORABLE CURT F. STEIB, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On February 26, 2004, the trial court signed an order denying Timothy Joe Emerson's motion for nunc pro tunc relief from a judgment signed July 27, 1999. On March 25, 2004, appellant filed a notice of appeal from the February 26 order.

The denial of a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is not a final, appealable judgment over which the court of appeals has jurisdiction. See Shadowbrook Apartments v. Abu-Ahmad, 783 S.W.2d 210, 210 (Tex. 1990); In re Bridges, 28 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. App.--Fort Worth 2000, orig. proceeding). Nor does the denial of a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc create an interlocutory appeal. See, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2004) (various categories of interlocutory appeals).

Accordingly, this Court has no jurisdiction over this attempted appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
