Specifically, it appears there is no final judgment. We requested that appellant file ajurisdicitonal brief, within ten days of the date of the letter, explaining how this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. As of today’s (late, appellant has not filed a jurisdictional brief.
Except in circumstances not applicable here, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments. See Lehrnann v. liar-Con Coip., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. Id.

Both orders were signed on June21, 2012. In his motion to terminate the writ of withholding. appellee asserted a claim for attorney S fees. Appellee’s claim for attorneys fees remains pending. In light of this pending claim, there is no final judgment. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal ibr want ofjurisdiction. See TEX. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
