No. 05-07-00709-CV.
Opinion Filed September 27, 2007.
On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. DF98-00424-Z.
Before Justices MORRIS, BRIDGES, and O'NEILL.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On June 8, 2007, appellant filed a notice of appeal in this case indicating he was appealing an order of the trial court dated June 6, 2007. The June 6, 2007 order of the trial court is an order to appear for a hearing. By letter dated August 22, 2007, we directed appellant to file a letter brief regarding this Court's jurisdiction by September 5, 2007. Appellant did not file a jurisdictional brief.
Appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and such interlocutory orders as the legislature deems appealable. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Ruiz v. Ruiz, 946 S.W.2d 123, 124 (Tex.App.-El Paso 1997, no writ). An order to appear for a hearing is not an appealable interlocutory order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 15.064(a) (Vernon 2002). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
