On January 10, 2014, appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal the trial court’s order denying “Plaintiff’s Second Traditional and No Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment.” Absent certain exceptions that do not apply in this case, an appellate court does not have jurisdiction to hear denied motions for summary judgment on appeal.

Code Ann. § 51.014.

On March 19, 2014, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court’s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Appellant filed no response.

The appeal is ordered dismissed.
