No. 05-09-01180-CV

Opinion issued November 10, 2009.

On Appeal from the 303rd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. DF-03-17812.

Before Chief Justice WRIGHT and Justices O'NEILL and MURPHY.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


By letter dated October 15, 2009, this Court notified appellant that it had concerns regarding our jurisdiction over the appeal because it did not appear there was a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order in place. We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our jurisdiction over the appeal. Appellant did not respond.

Appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and such interlocutory orders as the legislature deems appealable. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Ruiz v. Ruiz, 946 S.W.2d 123, 124 (Tex. App.-El Paso 1997, no writ). In this case, the documents before the Court show only that hearings have been scheduled. Nothing shows a final judgment or otherwise appealable order has been entered by the trial court. Accordingly, we conclude we have no jurisdiction over the appeal.

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
