MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pending before the Court is Appellants motion to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the trial court s judgment is not final. We dismiss the appeal.

Appellate courts generally have jurisdiction over final judgments and such interlocutory orders as the legislature deems appealable. Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Ann. 51.012 (Vernon 1997) and 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2006); Ruiz v. Ruiz, 946 S.W.2d 123, 124 (Tex.App.--El Paso 1997, no writ). It appears that the order granting Allstate Indemnity Company s motion for summary judgment is not a final judgment. Accordingly, we grant Appellants motion and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
