LARRY JAMES TREAKLE, Appellant



V.



JAMES L. HALL AND LAMAR A. ROACH, Appellees




On Appeal from the 58th District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. A-172195




MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)

On March 31, 2005, we notified the parties that no appealable order had been signed by the trial court. Subject to certain statutory exceptions not applicable in this case, only final judgments are appealable. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 51.012, 51.014 (Vernon 1997 & Supp. 2005). The act which will begin the period for perfecting the appeal-signing the judgment -has not occurred. Accordingly, we hold the jurisdiction over this case is still vested in the trial court. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM

Opinion Delivered May 12, 2005

Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Horton, JJ.

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