On appeal from the 370th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Tijerina
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Contreras
Appellant, Tatiyana Geneva Altecor, filed an appeal from the trial court’s denial of
her motion to allocate settlement funds in cause number C-2974-17-G currently pending
in the 370th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. This cause is before the Court on
appellee United’s motion to dismiss the appeal, appellant’s response, and the appellate
record.
Appellant’s notice of appeal seeks to appeal the trial court’s ruling on her motion
to allocate settlement funds. Upon review of the record, it appears there is no written
order for this Court to consider. In terms of appellate jurisdiction, appellate courts only
have jurisdiction to review final judgments and certain interlocutory orders identified by
statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Because there
is no final judgment or order subject to appeal, the notice of appeal is premature. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 27.1(a).
The Court, having considered the record, appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal,
and appellant’s response, is of the opinion that the motion to dismiss should be granted.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(a). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
