Opinion
No. 04-19-00707-CV
10-29-2019
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018-CI-22759
Honorable Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The clerk's record and the notice of appeal have been filed. It appears the appealed order in this case, an oral order, is not an appealable order or final judgment. If the appealed order or judgment is not appealable, we lack appellate jurisdiction and must dismiss the appeal. See generally Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191 (Tex. 2001); see also Nazari v. State, 561 S.W.3d 495, 510 (Tex. 2018) (stating a party may not appeal an interlocutory order unless authorized by statute); Hegwood v. Am. Habilitation Serv., Inc., 294 S.W.3d 603, 605 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, no pet.).
We therefore order appellant to file a response with 10 days of this order showing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If a supplemental clerk's record is required to demonstrate our jurisdiction, appellant must (a) ask the trial court clerk to prepare the record, and (b) notify this court that such a request was made. We further order the appellate deadlines suspended until further order of this court. If appellant fails to file a satisfactory response by the date ordered, the appeal will be dismissed.
