IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-16-00094-CV COLETTE SAVAGE, Appellant v. MARK SAVAGE, Appellee From the 66th District Court Hill County, Texas Trial Court No. 52939 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Colette Savage filed a pro se notice of appeal stating that she is appealing two orders: (1) the “Order Granting Dismissal of McDonald as Defendant and Ordering Sanctions Against Colette Clara Savage” and (2) the “Order Regarding Requests for Admissions Filed by Colette Savage.” Both orders were signed by the trial court on February 17, 2016. However, all pending parties and claims have not been disposed of in this case; therefore, there is no final judgment. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 192-93 (Tex. 2001). This Court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a judgment that is not final, unless there is specific statutory authority permitting an appeal before final judgment. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.012 (West 2015). None of the exceptions to the rule that only final judgments can be appealed applies in this case. See id. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2015) (listing interlocutory judgments that may be appealed before final judgment is rendered in the case). We notified Appellant that her appeal might be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless she filed a response within ten days showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. This appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. Appellant’s request for more time to conduct more research is dismissed as moot. REX D. DAVIS Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Dismissed Opinion delivered and filed April 28, 2016 [CV06] Savage v. Savage Page 2
