MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellants Valerie L. McNally now known as Valerie Jenkins and Kelly Alana
McNally a/k/a Kelly Alana Wilkins brought an appeal from the trial court’s
December 20, 2016 “Order Granting Plaintiff’s Traditional and No-Evidence
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Motions for Summary Judgment and Denying Defendants’ Traditional and No-
Evidence Motions for Summary Judgment.” Upon our review of the record, we
determined that the trial court’s December 20 order may not have been final and
appealable because it did not resolve all claims against all parties.
Therefore, on March 17, 2017, we sent the parties a letter expressing our
concern that we lacked jurisdiction. In our letter, we stated that the December 20
order did not appear to be a final judgment or an appealable interlocutory order,
and we asked the parties to file a response showing grounds for continuing the
appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Appellants responded to our letter by conceding
that the December 20 order is not final or appealable and by expressing that
counsel for appellee Joseph P. McNally agrees that the order is not appealable.2
We agree that the order is not a final judgment or an appealable interlocutory order,
so we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a),
43.2(f); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); see also Tex.
Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a) (West Supp. 2016) (listing types of
appealable interlocutory orders).

Appellants stated that when they filed their notice of appeal, they were
unsure whether the December 20 order qualified as a final judgment and filed the
notice of appeal “in an abundance of caution.”
