V.
JP-8 COMM, LLC, ET AL., Appellees
On Appeal from the 429th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 429-03896-2021
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns and Justices Molberg and Pedersen, III
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
This appeal from the trial court’s interlocutory summary judgment was filed
in anticipation of the trial court granting permission to appeal the otherwise
unappealable order. See Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272
(Tex. 1992) (appeal may be taken only from final judgment that disposes of all issues
between parties or interlocutory order authorized by statute); TEX. R. CIV. P. 168
(authorizing trial court to permit appeal from interlocutory order not otherwise
appealable); see also TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(d) (authorizing
permissive appeal if certain requirements are met). Because a permissive appeal is
commenced by petition filed after the trial court grants permission, see TEX. R. APP.
P. 28.3(a), we ordered appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. More than ten days have passed since our show
cause order and appellants have not responded. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
See id. 42.3(a).
