DISMISS and Opinion Filed March 15, 2021
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00086-CV
BRIDGET PARSON, Appellant
V.
BECKY COLE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-15-01563-B
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
As reflected in her notice of appeal and amended notice of appeal, appellant
appeals from the trial court’s order denying her motion to recuse and a proposed
order appointing a post-judgment receiver. Because it appeared these orders are
not subject to appeal, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal. We
instructed appellant to file a letter brief addressing the Court’s concern. Appellant
complied.
An order denying a motion to recuse is reviewable only from appeal of a
final judgment. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 18a(j)(1)(A). Additionally, a non-signed
proposed order appointing a post-judgment receiver presents nothing for review as
only signed judgments are appealable. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (appellate
timetable runs from the date the judgment is signed).
Although appellant filed a letter brief, she fails to demonstrate this Court’s
jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
