Thomas Retzlaff has filed a notice of appeal in this cause. His notice of appeal states there is no final order nor any interlocutory orders in the cause. In general, an appeal may be prosecuted only from a final judgment that disposes of all issues and parties in a case. See Mafrige v. Ross, 866 S.W.2d 590, 591-92 (Tex. 1993); Hinde v. Hinde, 701 S.W.2d 637, 639 (Tex. 1985); North E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966). An exception exists for certain interlocutory orders. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 1998). Appellant has not responded to this Court's letter advising him of the problem and giving him an opportunity to cure. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
