MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant Harry Matthew F. attempts to appeal from the trial court's interlocutory order, which ordered the parties to amend their pleadings. On August 25, 2008, we sent Harry a letter stating our concern that we may have no jurisdiction over this appeal because the order does not appear to be a final appealable order or judgment, nor does it appear to be an appealable interlocutory order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a) (Vernon 2008) (listing appealable interlocutory orders); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (providing general rule that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment). We indicated that this court would dismiss this appeal if we did not receive a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by September 4, 2008. Harry filed a response on September 4, 2008, arguing that the May 28, 2008 order disposed of all issues " other than the enforcement of the arrearage, if any, that [is] owed by Harry." [Emphasis added.] Because the May 28, 2008 order does not dispose of all issues, it is not a final judgment.
Accordingly, because the order is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
