ETTL Engineers & Consultants, Inc. v. Central Texas Highway Constructors, LLC
Opinion
Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 1, 2024.
In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-24-00320-CV ETTL ENGINEERS & CONSULTANTS, INC., Appellant V. CENTRAL TEXAS HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTORS, LLC, Appellee On Appeal from the 190th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2023-74808
MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from a judgment signed February 2, 2024. By its terms, the judgment awarded monetary relief to appellee while “retain[ing] jurisdiction over the parties . . . for purposes of hearing [appellee]’s pending claims for Entry of a Turnover Order[ and] for attorneys’ fees.” As near as can be determined from the appellate record, the trial court has not yet awarded a specific amount of fees and has not resolved the request for entry of a turnover order. Accordingly, the judgment is interlocutory rather than final, and it is accordingly not appealable. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 200 (Tex. 2001) (“A judgment that finally disposes of all remaining parties and claims, based on the record in the case, is final, regardless of its language.”). The appealed-from judgment also lacks any apparent basis for being immediately appealable. See CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. 2011) (acknowledging the general rule that “interlocutory orders are not immediately appealable”).
On June 19, 2024, the parties were informed the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice for want of jurisdiction unless any party demonstrated by June 29, 2024 that this court had jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). The parties did not file a response.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Wilson.
