Preview:Daniel A. Lorenz v. Texas Workforce Commission and Wal-Mart Associates Inc.--Appeal from 216th Judicial District Court of Bandera County
MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-07-00295-CV Daniel A. LORENZ, Appellant v. TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION and Wal-Mart Associates, Inc., Appellees From the 216th Judicial District Court, Bandera County, Texas Trial Court No. 9197-04 Honorable Stephen B. Ables, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 18, 2007

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Daniel A. Lorenz appeals the trial court's order denying his motion for a default judgment. With exceptions not applicable here, "an appeal may be prosecuted only from a final judgment." North East Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966). "[T]o be final a judgment must dispose of all issues and parties in a case." Id. The trial court's order denying Lorenz's motion for a default judgment does not dispose of all issues and parties in the case and is not an order subject to interlocutory appeal. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2006). After the clerk's record was filed, we ordered Lorenz to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Lorenz did not file a response within the time provided. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM
