MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
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
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
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).
