MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Jay Sandon Cooper has filed an interlocutory appeal from "the trial court's Denial of Plaintiff's Motion for Leave of Court to Amend Plaintiff's Original Petition and to Join Parties; or in the Alternative, Motion for Leave of Court to Supplement Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment." By order dated September 28, 2005, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal and asked appellant to file a jurisdictional brief. We have received the brief, and after considering the brief and the case law in this area, we conclude that we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider appeals of interlocutory orders only if a statute explicitly provides appellate jurisdiction. Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998). Appellant has not asserted an appropriate statute under which we could review this interlocutory order. Accordingly, we do not have jurisdiction to consider this appeal.
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
