Because no final judgment has been entered, and an order denying a motion to recuse is appealable only upon final judgment, we directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our jurisdiction. See TEX. R. Civ. P. 18aU)(1)(A); Ogletree v. Matthews, 262 S. W.3d 316, 319 n.l (Tex. 2007) ("Texas appellate courts have jurisdiction only over final orders or judgments unless a statute permits an interlocutory appeal."). Although appellant complied, she has failed to show the Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP.
