HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF ALICE, Appellant v. TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE JOINT SELF-INSURANCE FUND and Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool, Appellee
From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15-03-54404-CV
Honorable Oscar (O.J.) Hale, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant seeks to appeal an order signed on November 23, 2015 granting the Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment and denying its motion for summary judgment. It appears this order is not a final appealable order and does not dispose of all claims asserted. No severance order appears in the record. An order that does not dispose of all parties and causes of action is not final and appealable. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 205 (Tex. 2001); Houston Health Clubs, Inc. v. First Court of Appeals, 722 S.W.2d 692, 693 (Tex. 1986). An order denying a motion for summary judgment is not appealable. Cincinnati Life Ins. Co. v. Cates, 927 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. 1996).
It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within fifteen days of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
The briefing schedule is suspended pending our determination of whether we have jurisdiction over this appeal.
