WALTER MOORE, Appellant
V.
VERIZON WIRELESS AND DERRICK KEYS, Appellees
On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 3
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 906785
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 3, 2008. The clerk=s record was filed on January 9, 2009.
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).
The Texas Arbitration Act allows interlocutory appeals solely from orders that deny arbitration. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code ' 171.098(a)(1), (2); Chambers v. O'Quinn, 242 S.W.3d 30, 31 (Tex. 2007).
On January 12, 2009, notification was transmitted to the parties of this court=s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant filed a response demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal on or before January 26, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant=s response fails to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction over the appeal.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Brown, and Boyce.
