SARAH CATHERINE NORRIS ALFORD AND WMC VISTA HOLDINGS, LLC, Appellants v. JP-8 COMM, LLC, ET AL., Appellees
On Appeal from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-03896-2021
Before Chief Justice Burns and Justices Molberg and Pedersen, III
MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROBERT D. BURNS CHIEF JUSTICE
This appeal from the trial court's interlocutory summary judgment was filed in anticipation of the trial court granting permission to appeal the otherwise unappealable order. See Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (appeal may be taken only from final judgment that disposes of all issues between parties or interlocutory order authorized by statute); Tex.R.Civ.P. 168 (authorizing trial court to permit appeal from interlocutory order not otherwise appealable); see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d) (authorizing permissive appeal if certain requirements are met). Because a permissive appeal is commenced by petition filed after the trial court grants permission, see Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(a), we ordered appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. More than ten days have passed since our show cause order and appellants have not responded. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).
JUDGMENT
