Delivered: May 27, 2004.

Appeal from the 153^rd District Court of Tarrant County.

Mike McClure of Fort Worth, TX, for appellee.

MEMORANDUM OPINION ¹ AND JUDGMENT

1 See Tex.R.App.P. 47.4.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Patricia A. Rudder appeals from the trial court's interlocutory order implicitly denying in part her motion to compel discovery. The denial of a motion to compel discovery may be challenged by a petition for mandamus,² but it is not an appealable interlocutory order.³ Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.⁴

2 In re Hinterlong, 109 S.W.3d 611, 621 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2003, orig. proceeding); see also Tex.R.App.P. 52 (governing original proceedings).

3 See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2004).

4 See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998).

Costs of the appeal shall be paid by Appellant, for which let execution issue.
