Quentin De La Garza v. Eckert 1G LLC d/b/a Eckert Heights

Summary

The Fourth Court of Appeals of Texas dismissed an appeal in a forcible detainer case for lack of jurisdiction. The court concluded that an order granting immediate issuance of a writ of possession was not final and appealable because it did not dispose of all claims, and the appellant failed to respond to the court’s show-cause order.

Holdings

1. An order that does not dispose of all parties and causes of action is not final and appealable; therefore, the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction over the appeal.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court of appeals had jurisdiction over an appeal from an order granting immediate issuance of a writ of possession that did not dispose of all parties and causes of action.
