BRIDGET PARSON A/K/A BRIDGET BROWN PARSON, Appellant v. BECKY COLE, Appellee


On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-15-01563-B

Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein

MEMORANDUM OPINION

ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE

In her notice of appeal, appellant states she is appealing the receiver's oath of office that was filed in the trial court on May 13, 2021. The Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal and directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern with an opportunity for appellee to file a response. Appellant complied.

Appellant has appealed the order appointing the receiver. That appeal is docketed as appellate cause number 05-21-00175-CV.

Generally, appellate courts have jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a). A receiver's oath of office is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order. Although appellant filed a letter brief, nothing therein demonstrates that this Court has jurisdiction over this appeal.

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.
