v.
Ana Lisa GARZA,
Intervenor
From the 381st Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas
Trial Court No. DC-00-00328
Honorable Federico Hinojosa, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 4, 2012
DISMISSED
Appellants filed notice of appeal on February 9, 2012 indicating their intent to appeal an
interlocutory order granting Intervenor Ana Lisa Garza’s motion for summary judgment. Having
determined that the summary judgment order appeared to be interlocutory, we ordered appellants
04-12-00081-CV
to show cause in writing within fifteen days why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. Appellants did not respond. Intervenor responded, and filed a motion to dismiss the
appeal for want of jurisdiction because the summary judgment order is interlocutory. The record
shows the summary judgment order is interlocutory, as it does not dispose of the appellants’ claims
against the defendants, and there is no severance order in effect. Therefore, we must dismiss this
appeal. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 205-06 (Tex. 2001). Accordingly,
intervenor’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
