Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 27,

In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-11-00992-CV
JAMES RAMEY, SEAN RAMEY AND ALL OCCUPANTS, Appellants
V.
BANK OF NEW YORK, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 1
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 860916
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an attempted appeal from an order denying a motion to stay writ of
possession. Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v.
Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be appealed
only if permitted by statute. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352
(Tex. 2001); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (orig.
proceeding).
The record in this appeal contains no final judgment. An order denying a motion
to stay writ of possession is not a final judgment, and is not one of those appealable
interlocutory orders listed in section 51.014. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §
51.014.1
On February 28, 2012, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellants
did not file a response.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Seymore, Brown, and Boyce.
1 Certain additional appealable interlocutory orders are set forth in the Texas Family Code and Texas
Probate Code, but they are not applicable to the instant order.
