MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

----------

Frieda Eshra-Bostick, pro se, attempts to appeal from the trial court’s March 23, 2012 order granting Sederick Gilbert’s plea to the jurisdiction and motion to dismiss.  On April 11, 2012, we notified Appellant of our concern that we might not have jurisdiction over this appeal because there did not appear to be a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order.  We stated that unless Appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal on or before April 23, 2012, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3.  Appellant did not file a response.

The general rule, with a few exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment.  Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Here, the trial court’s March 23, 2012 order does not dispose of all parties in the case or otherwise appear to be a final judgment.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
