PROGRESSIVE ADVANTAGE AGENCY, INC., Appellant v. CLAYTON WOODY AND JULIE WOODY, Appellees
From the 249th District Court Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. DC-C202400184
Before Gray Chief Justice, Johnson Justice, and Smith Justice.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
TOM GRAY, Chief Justice.
Progressive Advantage Agency, Inc. attempts to appeal from a default judgment rendered against it. By letter dated September 24, 2024, the Clerk of this Court informed Progressive that the appeal was subject to dismissal because no final, appealable judgment or order had been signed by the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3; 44.3. See also Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). ("A judgment is final for purposes of appeal if it disposes of all pending parties and claims in the record…"). Specifically, the Clerk informed Progressive that it appeared the trial court's "Default Judgment" did not dispose of the claims against ASI Lloyds. In the same letter, the Clerk warned Progressive that the appeal would be dismissed unless Progressive responded showing grounds for continuing the appeal.
Progressive responded but did not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Rather, Progressive specifically stated in its response that "the Default Judgment was not a final order because it did not dispose of all claims against all parties." (Emphasis in original).
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a).
Appeal dismissed.
