ANSERA BENET DUPREE JR, Appellant v. HARRIS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, Appellee
On Appeal from the 129th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2024-15060.
Panel consists of Zimmerer, Spain, and Hassan, Justices.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
This is an attempted appeal from an order denying a motion for default judgment signed September 4, 2024. An appellate court does not have jurisdiction to hear appeals from the denial of a default judgment.
Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). When orders do not dispose of all pending parties and claims, the orders remain interlocutory and unappealable until final judgment is signed unless a statutory exception applies. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352 (Tex. 2001); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).
On November 4, 2024, notification was transmitted to the parties of this court's intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant filed a response demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal within 10 days. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a). Appellant's response does not demonstrate this court's jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
