MEMORANDUM OPINION
Paul Earl Dorsey appeals from an interlocutory order denying his summary judgment motion. Because no final, appealable judgment has been rendered as of this date, Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.
With some exceptions not applicable here, "an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment." Sultan v. Mathew, 178 S.W.3d 747, 751 (Tex. 2005) (quoting Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001)). An appeal may not be taken from an interlocutory order denying a summary judgment motion unless a statute expressly permits such an appeal. See Dallas County v. Wadley, 168 S.W.3d 373, 375-76 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2005, pet. denied); Thomas v. Long, 97 S.W.3d 300, 301-02 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, no pet.). No statute permits an appeal in this case.
The Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the appeal is subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because it is taken from a non-appealable interlocutory order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). Dorsey has not responded to this notice. Accordingly, we grant Appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
