Court of Appeals

First District of Texas
NO. 01-01-01139-CV
DAVID E. POPE, Appellant
V.
K.T.L. AUTO STORAGE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 752001
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal of the county court’s order of dismissal for want of prosecution. Appellant, David K. Pope, appealed to county court the judgment of a small claims court in a negligence suit he brought against appellee, K.T.L. Auto Storage.
We do not have jurisdiction to consider this appeal. The judgment of the county court at law on an appeal from small claims court is final. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 28.053(d) (Vernon 1988). The word “final” in the statute means there is no further appeal beyond the county court. Davis v. Covert, 983 S.W.2d 301, 302 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1998, pet. dism’d w.o.j.).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
Evelyn V. Keyes
Justice
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Keyes and Alcala.
