Before Justices PATTERSON, PURYEAR and HENSON.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Rhett Webster Pease has filed a notice of appeal from an "Order for Issuance of Capias" issued by the trial court on July 27, 2007. Appellant's notice of appeal is untimely because it was filed more than thirty days after the order appealed from was signed by the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. In addition, appellant appeals from an interlocutory order, not a final judgment.
This Court lacks jurisdiction over an appeal from an interlocutory order unless jurisdiction is specifically provided by statute. See Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992). No statute authorizes an interlocutory appeal from an order for issuance of capias. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2007) (providing for appeal from certain interlocutory orders). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
