TRAM TRAN, Appellant v. DAVID STIDD, Appellee
On Appeal from the 303rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-06-02457-V
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Whitehill, and Justice Molberg
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
In her pending motion for an extension of time to file her notice of appeal, appellant states she appeals from the trial court's December 17, 2019 dismissal of the underlying case. After receiving notice from the district clerk's office that the trial court had not signed a dismissal order, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal. At our request, appellant filed a letter brief addressing our concern.
Generally, this Court has jurisdiction over final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a) (listing appealable interlocutory orders). A final judgment is one that disposes of all parties and all claims. See Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195.
In her letter brief, appellant fails to provide any authority demonstrating our jurisdiction over this appeal. In the absence of an order to review, this Court lacks appellate jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, we deny as moot appellant's motion for an extension of time to file her notice of appeal and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
