The motion was filed after we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal as it was filed before final trial, and no appealable interlocutory order appeared to have been signed. See Tex. A & M Univ. Sys. v. Koseoglu, 233 S.W.3d 835, 840 (Tex. 2007) (“Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider immediate appeals of interlocutory orders only if a statute explicitly provides such jurisdiction.”); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (“[T]he general rule, with a few mostly statutory exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment.”). In the motion, appellant acknowledges the Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. Accordingly, we grant the motion. We dismiss appellant’s pending motion for extension of time to file docketing statement and the appeal. See TEX. R. APP.
