John Preston Blalock and John Preston Blalock II, A/K/A Blalock Household v. Mercy Water Supply Corporation
Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-21-00041-CV __________________ JOHN PRESTON BLALOCK AND JOHN PRESTON BLALOCK II, A/K/A BLALOCK HOUSEHOLD, Appellants V. MERCY WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 258th District Court San Jacinto County, Texas Trial Cause No. CV16,563 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 8, 2021, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not identify a judgment or appealable order. The appellee, Mercy Water Supply Corporation, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The appellants, John Preston Blalock and John Preston Blalock II, a/k/a Blalock Household, filed a response to the Court’s jurisdictional inquiry, but did not identify
any statutory basis for an accelerated appeal from an interlocutory order dismissing some, but not all of their claims.
Generally, appellate courts review only final judgments and interlocutory orders specifically made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). An appeal from an interlocutory order may proceed as an accelerated appeal “when allowed by statute[.]” See Tex. R. App. P. 28.1. The appellants failed to identify a signed order by the trial court that they may appeal as an accelerated appeal. See generally Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014.
We grant the motion to dismiss. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
