Opinion

Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 28, 2024

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-24-00160-CV DELESTER SCOTT, Appellant V. STEVEN MAISOS, Appellee On Appeal from the 129th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2023-33118 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an attempted interlocutory appeal from the denial of a no-evidence motion for summary judgment. Absent certain exceptions that do not apply here, an appellate court does not have jurisdiction to hear denied motions for summary judgment on appeal. Ackermann v. Vordenbaum, 403 S.W.2d 362, 365 (Tex. 1966); William Marsh Rice Univ. v. Coleman, 291 S.W.3d 43, 45 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2009, pet. dism’d).

On March 6, 2024, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. The record supports appellee’s motion. Appellant filed no response.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Zimmerer and Wilson.
