In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-11-00629-CV _________________ IN THE INTEREST OF B.E.G.G. ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 09-05-04670 CV ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Wendi Hunter Unterreiner filed a notice of appeal from an order discharging an amicus attorney. Claims remain unresolved in the trial court and the order has not been severed to make the order appealable at this time. Thus, the trial court s order is not appealable as a final judgment. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider immediate appeals of interlocutory orders only if a statute specifically authorizes an appeal. See, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West 2008). We questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal and instructed the parties to file written responses. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. No response has been filed. 1 This Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal at this time. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED. _____________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Opinion Delivered December 15, 2011 Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 2
