Order of Dismissal

__________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., HANCOCK, J., and BOYD, S.J.[1]

            Pending is the appeal of Grady R. Mitchell from a summary judgment executed by the trial court.  Mitchell sued Popat Patel, Kamu Patel, Sunil Patel, and Anand, Inc., asserting claims of premises liability.  Though Popat and Kamu Patel were granted summary judgment, Anand, Inc. was not.  Furthermore, the record fails to show that the claims asserted by Mitchell against Popat and Kamu were severed from the suit.  So, what we have before us is an appeal from a judgment that fails to address all claims against all parties.  Consequently, the judgment is not final and appealable.  See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 200 (Tex. 2001) (stating that a judgment is final and appealable when it disposes of all claims against all parties).

             Because a final judgment is a prerequisite to our having jurisdiction over an appeal, id. at 195, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                                    Chief Justice
