MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00646-CV
Timothy Dewayne WYATT,
Appellant
v.
Placido SAMANIEGO, Jr., Kevin Masters, Joe L. Alfaro, Paul S. Chavarria, Alfredo Pena, and
Christina Moore,
Appellees
From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10-04-00063-CVK
Honorable Ron Carr, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 28, 2011
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
In the underlying case, Appellant Timothy Dewayne Wyatt, an inmate, sued Appellees
Placido Samaniego, Jr., Kevin Masters, Joe L. Alfaro, Paul S. Chavarria, Alfredo Pena, and
Christina Moore pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. In
response to the lawsuit, Appellees moved for a partial dismissal under Chapter 14. On April 15,
2011, the trial court granted the motion and signed an “Order of Partial Dismissal.” On June 28,
2011, Wyatt filed a notice of appeal. And, on August 19, 2011, the trial court signed an order
04-11-00646-CV
reinstating one of Wyatt’s claims. Thus, Wyatt is appealing from an interlocutory order that does
not dispose of all parties and causes of action. Interlocutory orders may be appealed only if a
specific statute authorizes such an interlocutory appeal. Here, Chapter 14 specifically states that
an order that dismisses a claim “is not subject to interlocutory appeal by the inmate.” TEX. CIV.
PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 14.010 (c). Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
