The clerk’s record does not contain a final judgment. Generally, only final judgments may be appealed. Lehmann v. HarCon Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). We asked the parties to file briefing on whether we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Appellant responded with a “motion for accelerated interlocutory appeal to dissolve order.” She did not contend there is a final judgment in this case.
