TARSHA JACKSON, et al., Appellants

V.

TRUSTMARK NATIONAL BANK, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 4

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 904680

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal from an order signed December 18, 2007.  The clerk=s record has not been filed; however, on January 17, 2008, appellee filed a motion to dismiss containing a certified copy of the trial court=s order.  This order denied appellants= motion to dissolve or quash the writ of sequestration.

In its motion to dismiss, appellee claims this court has no jurisdiction because the order appellants are appealing is an interlocutory order.  Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments.  Lehmann v. Har‑Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001).  Interlocutory orders may be appealed only if permitted by statute.  Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352 (Tex. 2001); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).  An order denying a motion to dissolve a writ of sequestration is interlocutory and not appealable.  Monroe v. General Motors Accep. Corp., 561 S.W.2d 12, 13 (Tex. Civ. App.BWaco 1978, no writ)(citing to East & West Tex. Lumber co. v. Williams, 71 Tex. 444, 9 S.W. 436 (1888)); Factory Outlet, Inc. v. Southline Equip. Co., 2000 WL 21268 at *3 (Tex. App.BAmarillo 2000, no pet.).

Appellants filed no response.  Appellee=s motion is granted.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
