Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00394-CV Desmond D. LEE, Appellant v. BRECKENRIDGE GROUP SAN BRECKENRIDGE GROUP SAN ANTONIO, II L.P., Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 10, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 388765 Honorable Tina Torres, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 29, 2014 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION This appeal arises from a forcible detainer action. On June 10, 2014, appellant filed a notice of appeal stating his intent to appeal from the trial court s final orders. However, it does not appear from the clerk s record that a final order has been signed by the trial court in this cause. The trial court s order of May 22, 2014 specifically reserved for the time of trial appellee s application for costs, damages and attorney s fees. A judgment or order is final for purposes of appeal if it actually disposes of all pending parties and claims before the court. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Here, the trial court s order of May 22, 2014 is 04-14-00394-CV interlocutory because it does not dispose of all parties and causes of action. We have jurisdiction only to hear appeals from final orders. Interlocutory orders may be appealed only if a specific statute authorizes such an interlocutory appeal. Therefore, it appears from the clerk s record that we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal. On July 24, 2014, we therefore ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond to our order. We thus dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM -2-
