Joe Kessling D/B/A Kessling Services v. Ricardo Venegas Jr., Crystal A. Ortiz, and Encanto Envestments, LLC

Summary

The Thirteenth Court of Appeals of Texas dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction. The court held that the order granting partial summary judgment was not appealable, and the appellant failed to cure the jurisdictional defect after notice.

Holdings

1. Absent an appealable interlocutory order or final judgment, the court of appeals lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. Because the order appealed from was unappealable and appellant failed to cure the defect, the appeal had to be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the order granting partial summary judgment was an appealable interlocutory order or final judgment.
2. Whether the court had appellate jurisdiction over the attempted appeal.

Disposition

dismissed
