MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 21, 2014, appellant Jefferson County, Texas filed a petition for
permissive appeal in this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3; Tex. R. Civ. P. 168; Tex. Civ.
Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2014). To be entitled to a permissive
appeal from an interlocutory order that would not otherwise be appealable, the requesting
party must demonstrate that (1) the order to be appealed involves a “controlling question
of law as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion” and (2) an
immediate appeal from the order “may materially advance the ultimate termination of the
litigation.” Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(e)(4); Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d).
1
Appellant has not established that it is entitled to a permissive appeal.
Accordingly, we deny appellant’s petition for permissive appeal.
PETITION FOR PERMISSIVE APPEAL DENIED.
