JAMES DAVID HORTON AND ROBBIE LESA HORTON, Appellants v. BROOKE DAVES, Appellee


On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-11551

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Bridges, Lang and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Bridges

James David Horton and Robbie Lesa Horton appeal the trial court's order granting Brooke Daves's motion to dismiss the claims against her pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which is known as the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA). The Hortons argue this Court has jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal. We conclude that we do not have jurisdiction and dismiss this interlocutory appeal. The law is well-settled in this matter, therefore we issue this memorandum opinion. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 47.1.

This appeal involves the same facts and legal arguments as Horton v. Martin, No. 05-15-00015-CV. The appeals have the same reporter's record and any differences in the clerk's records are not material to our resolution of the appeals. We issued today a full opinion in Horton v. Martin, No. 05-15-00015-CV, addressing all jurisdictional arguments raised by the Hortons, Martin, Stovall, and Daves. For the reasons explained in that case, we conclude this Court does not have jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f).
