MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00792-CV Willie MAZON and Deborah Mazon, Appellants v. HOMEQ SERVICING CORPORATION, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 2, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 358,991 Honorable Irene Rios, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebecca Simmons, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 1, 2010 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellants notice of appeal states their intention to appeal the trial court s order signed on October 15, 2010, denying appellants motion for default judgment. Because the trial court s order did not dispose of all pending claims and, therefore, was not final and appealable, this court ordered appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellants response asserts that the trial court initially entered a final default judgment on August 9, 2010; therefore, the trial court s October 15, 2010 order was signed 04-10-00792-CV outside its plenary power and was void. The trial court s August 9, 2010 order; however, did not address the damages issue in the underlying cause. Because the order did not dispose of the damages issue, it was not a final order. See In re Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse of McAllen, Inc., 167 S.W.3d 827, 830-31 (Tex. 2005); Houston Health Clubs, Inc. v. First Court of Appeals, 722 S.W.2d 692, 693 (Tex. 1986); see also TEX. R. CIV. P. 241, 243 (providing for final default judgment to be rendered after damages are assessed). Because the trial court in the underlying cause has not signed a final, appealable order, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM -2-
