Bridget Parson v. Becky Cole

DISMISS and Opinion Filed March 29, 2021

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00642-CV BRIDGET PARSON, Appellant V. BECKY COLE, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-15-01563-B MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Nowell Opinion by Justice Reichek

Appellant appeals from the trial court’s May 29, 2018 order denying her motion to vacate a default judgment.1 By letter dated March 8, 2021, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal.2 We instructed appellant to file, by March 18th, a letter brief addressing our concern and cautioned her that failure to do so may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a letter brief.

Generally this Court has jurisdiction only over final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014. Here, the trial court’s May 29, 2018 order denying appellant’s motion to vacate the default judgment is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
