No. 06-03-00064-CV
Submitted: June 2, 2003.
Decided: June 3, 2003.
On Appeal from the 115th Judicial District Court, Marion County, Texas, Trial Court No. 0200064.
Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Kerry Nathan Parker appeals from an "Order of Motion to Vacate Final Judgment." Generally, only final judgments of trial courts are appealable. Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2003) (final judgment of district and county courts); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). That does not include orders on motions for new trial unless a new judgment is entered as a result of that motion. The Legislature has also authorized the appeal of a number of interlocutory orders. See, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014. The complained-of order here does not fall within either category. We are, therefore, without jurisdiction over this appeal.
We notified Parker of this defect and gave him ten days to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3. Appellant's counsel filed a response in which she concurs we are without jurisdiction.
Because this order is not appealable, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
