Opinion

No. 09-11-00474-CV

Opinion Delivered September 29, 2011.

On Appeal from the 284th District Court, Montgomery County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 10-02-01875 CV.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., GAULTNEY and KREGER, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Karen Williamson filed a notice of appeal from an order granting special exceptions. The trial court's order neither strikes the plaintiff's pleadings nor dismisses the case. Claims remain unresolved in the trial court. Thus, the trial court's order is not appealable as a final judgment. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider immediate appeals of interlocutory orders only if a statute specifically authorizes an appeal. See, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West 2008). We questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal and instructed the parties to file written responses. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. The appellant filed a response, but she failed to identify a statute that authorizes an appeal at this time. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
