GLEN FLOYD SMITH, Appellant

V.

CLEMENT ALDRIDGE, JR., Appellee

On Appeal from the 405th District Court

Galveston County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 09CV0009

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 May 19, 2011.  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). 

On June 30, 2011, 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 18, 2011.  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, Jamison, and McCally.
