Appellant Freddie Lee Walker appeals from the trial court's order granting appellees' motion to transfer venue from Travis to Brazoria County. But this Court is without jurisdiction to consider an interlocutory appeal of an order transferring venue. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 15.064(a) (West 2002) ("The court shall determine venue questions from the pleadings and affidavits. No interlocutory appeal shall lie from the determination."), 51.014 (West Supp. 2006); Tex. R. Civ. P. 87(6) (regarding trial court's venue determination, "[t]here shall be no interlocutory appeal from such determination."); see also American Home Prods. Corp. v. Clark, 38 S.W.3d 92, 96 (Tex. 2000) ("Neither the court of appeals nor this Court can review the propriety of the trial court's venue decision."). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
