MEMORANDUM OPINION
From our initial review of the record it appeared that the order sought to be appealed is interlocutory because it does not dispose of the claim for child support arrearage against appellant, and no severance order appears in the record. Therefore, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the order signed on November 4, 2004, is not a final and appealable order because it does not dispose of all parties and causes of action in this suit. See Houston Health Clubs, Inc. v. First Court of Appeals, 722 S.W.2d 692, 693 (Tex. 1986); Northeast Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a). Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
Describe inadequate response and explain why we lack jurisdiction (use discussion from show cause order).
