MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
----------
Ronald L. Jones is attempting to appeal the trial court’s order dismissing with prejudice all of his health care liability claims against Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth. On January 30, 2013, we notified Jones of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over the appeal because the trial court’s order does not appear to be final or an appealable interlocutory order. Jones responded, but his response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.
The trial court’s dismissal order does not dispose of Jones’s claims against Dr. Elliott Ray Trotter, and the trial court has not severed those claims. When, as here, there has not been a conventional trial on the merits, an order or judgment is not final for purposes of appeal unless it actually disposes of every pending claim and party or clearly and unequivocally states that it finally disposes of all claims and parties. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 205 (Tex. 2001). We have jurisdiction of appeals only from final orders or interlocutory orders made appealable by statute; this appeal is from neither. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2012); Ogletree v. Matthews, 262 S.W.3d 316, 319 n.1 (Tex. 2007).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
