Manfred T. Sterl v. Beverly Mitrisin, Charles Thomas Nations, Brian Hooper, Mike Jansta, Mike Hayward, Jay Jacobs, Casper Rankin, Laurel Handley, Hollis Hamilton, and Bella Sol Properties, LLC

Sterl · Court of Appeals for the Eighth District of Texas · February 11, 2026 · No. No. 08-26-00065-CV

Summary

The Eighth District Court of Appeals of Texas dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction because the order granting a Rule 91a motion to dismiss was not a final judgment and no statutory exception permitting an interlocutory appeal applied. The court noted that the order left claims against Bella Sol Properties, LLC pending, and the appellant did not respond to the court's jurisdictional inquiry.

Holdings

  1. The order was not a final judgment because it did not dispose of all claims of all parties; the original cause continued with claims against Bella Sol Properties, LLC.
  2. The order was not an appealable interlocutory order because Appellant did not demonstrate that a statutory exception permitted the appeal.

Questions Presented

  1. Whether the December 12, 2025 order was a final judgment appealable as of right.
  2. Whether a statutory exception authorized an interlocutory appeal.
  3. Whether the appeal should be dismissed for want of appellate jurisdiction.

Disposition

dismissed
