F. SCOTT, ET AL., Appellees
On Appeal from the 102nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 13C1850-102
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Lee Miller, filed a notice of appeal January 24, 2014, from the trial court’s
order signed December 30, 2013, denying “Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting Court to Schedule a
Pre-trial Date for ‘Money Damages Settlement Negotiations Offers Hearing’ or ‘Written Out-of-
Court Settlement Offers’ in Nonreniggable Binding Contract Terms Format Within Forty-Five
45 Days of ‘Court Order’ Notice of this Motion to each Defendants.”
The trial court’s order is not a final, appealable judgment. Our jurisdiction is
constitutional and statutory in nature. See TEX. CONST. art. V, § 6; TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN.
§ 22.220 (West Supp. 2013). We have jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a final judgment or
from interlocutory orders as expressly authorized by statute. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE
ANN. §§ 51.012, 51.014 (West Supp. 2013). This order does not fit either criteria, and we thus
have no authority to consider the appeal.
In accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3, we provided notice to Miller
by letter dated January 30, 2014, requesting that he show this Court how we have jurisdiction
over this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. We advised Miller that, if we did not receive an adequate
response within fifteen days of January 30, 2014, then we would dismiss this appeal for want of
jurisdiction. We have received no response.
