IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-01-277-CV

     ANTONIO SEPEDA,

                                                                              Appellant

     v.

     B.J. WILLIAMSON,

                                                                              Appellee

From the 74th District Court

McLennan County, Texas

Trial Court # 2000-3836-3

MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Antonio Sepeda filed a notice of appeal seeking to appeal from the trial court’s order denying his motion for default judgment. We sent Sepeda a letter notifying him that this cause would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless he could show grounds for continuing the appeal. In response, Sepeda states that he should be allowed to appeal because the district clerk notified him that it was an appealable order.

      Except for the types of appealable interlocutory orders enumerated in section 51.014 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code, the appellate jurisdiction of this court extends only to final judgments. North East Independent School Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966); see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014 (Vernon 1999). In order to be "final," a judgment must dispose of all parties to the case and all issues in dispute. See Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d at 895. The order complained of in this appeal is not final. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
