TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-26-00600-CV
Tejas Dubey, Appellant
v.
Rashmi Khurana, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 25-1362-FC1, THE HONORABLE BRANDY HALLFORD, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Tejas Dubey appeals the trial court’s June 30, 2026 Order on Motion to
Reconsider in the underlying divorce and suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Appellee
Rashmi Khurana filed a motion to dismiss this appeal asserting that this Court lacks jurisdiction
over the appealed order denying Dubey’s motion for reconsideration because it is neither a final
judgment disposing of the whole case nor a statutorily authorized interlocutory appeal. We agree.
In general, this Court’s jurisdiction is limited to appeals in which there exists a final
or appealable judgment or order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012 (addressing appeals
from final judgments), .014 (addressing interlocutory appeals); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp.,
39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (stating general rule that appeal may be taken only from final
judgment that disposes of all pending claims and parties in record unless statute provides for
interlocutory appeal). The trial court’s June 30, 2026 order is not a final judgment that disposes
of all parties and claims, and no statute provides for an interlocutory appeal from that order.
Accordingly, we grant Khurana’s motion and dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See
Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
