Oluwayemisi Adeoye and Anthony Adeoye v. Eaglewood Homeowners Association Inc.

Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 2, 2018.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-18-00435-CV
OLUWAYEMISI ADEOYE AND ANTHONY ADEOYE, Appellants
V.
EAGLEWOOD HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 458th District Court
Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 14-DCV-212484
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an attempted appeal from an order signed May 7, 2018 denying
appellants’ motion to dismiss for want of prosecution. Generally, appeals may be
taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195
(Tex. 2001). Appellate courts have jurisdiction to consider immediate appeals of
interlocutory orders only if a statute explicitly provides appellate jurisdiction. CMH
Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. 2011); Fleming & Associates, L.L.P. v.
Kirklin, 497 S.W.3d 458, 460 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2015, pet. denied).
Because there is no specific statutory authorization, an interlocutory appeal is not
permitted in this situation. See In re Conner, 458 S.W.3d 532, 535 (Tex. 2015)
(granting mandamus relief after finding relator had no adequate remedy by appeal
to challenge the denial of a motion to dismiss).
On June 19, 2018, 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 July 5, 2018.
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). No response was filed.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Busby.
