AL M. WILLIAMS, Appellant v. ECOM/WILLMAX BELLAGIO, L.P. D/B/A LADERA, Appellee
On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-17458
Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Smith
ORDER
KEN MOLBERG, JUSTICE
Before the Court is appellant's July 7, 2022 motion to amend the notice of appeal to add WHW Transport, Inc. d/b/a CWS Recovery (CWS Recovery) as an appellee. The order on appeal dismissing appellant's claims against Ladera became final on December 13, 2021 when the trial court signed an order severing those claims from his claims against CWS Recovery. See McRoberts v. Ryals, 863 S.W.2d 450, 452-53 (Tex. 1993) (a severance order is effective when signed). Because appellant's claims against CWS Recovery have been severed out, he cannot address them in this appeal. Accordingly, we DENY the motion.
