Estate of Robert Wayne White

DISMISS and Opinion Filed February 22, 2019

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01093-CV

ESTATE OF ROBERT WAYNE WHITE, DECEASED

On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. PR-17-03062-3

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Whitehill, Molberg, and Reichek Opinion by Justice Whitehill We questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal as it appeared the challenged summary

judgment orders neither disposed of all parties and claims nor fell within the group of appealable interlocutory orders. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); State Fair of Tex. v. Iron Mountain Info. Mgmt., Inc., 299 S.W.3d 261, 262-63 n.2 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.). We instructed appellant to file a letter brief addressing the Court’s concern, but appellant failed to comply.

Generally, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments. See Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 195. A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. Id.

The record here reflects appellant filed suit against Charlotte Carmack, Kay Suell aka Kilfa Lajuan Jacobs Suell d/b/a Keeping Dignity, Jovan L. Aniagu, Annelle R. White, Individually and as Independent Executor of the Estate of Robert W. White, and Kelly White. The appealed orders dispose of appellant’s claims against Carmack, Aniagu, and the Whites. They do not, however, dispose of appellant’s claims against Suell, and nothing in the record reflects these claims have otherwise been resolved.

Because claims remain pending in the trial court, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. See id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
