Opinion

No. 09-05-442 CV

Opinion Delivered January 12, 2006.

On Appeal from the 411th District Court, Polk County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 21514.

Appeal Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., GAULTNEY and KREGER, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


On November 10, 2005, we informed the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of appeal, and notified them that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a response.

The notice of appeal seeks to appeal the denial of "Plaintiff's Motion to Compel More Definite Statement" in a garnishment proceeding. The order neither discharged the garnishment nor grants a judgment on the garnishment. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 666-669; Harrison v. Kell Jones Son, 262 S.W.2d 763, 764 (Tex.Civ.App.-Beaumont 1953, no writ). An order in a garnishment action is not appealable where it does not dispose of the primary issue drawn by the pleadings. Texlite, Inc. v. Liberty State Bank, 150 S.W.2d 822, 823 (Tex.Civ.App.-Waco 1941, no writ). The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
