MEMORANDUM OPINION
Yvette Tisdale filed a notice of appeal from an Order on Defendants’ No-
Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment, signed June 3, 2026. The Order states,
“This is an Interlocutory Order as Defendants’ counterclaims remain pending.”
Through a notice issued by the appellate clerk, we notified the parties that it appears
the order being appealed is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory
1
order. Appellant filed a response through which she conceded that the trial court has
not yet signed a final judgment in the case.
Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments or interlocutory
orders that are otherwise appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39
S.W.3d 191, 195, 200 (Tex. 2001); see Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 51.012
(appeal from final judgment), 51.014 (authorizes accelerated appeals from certain
interlocutory orders). A judgment or order is final if it disposes of every pending
claim and party. Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 205. Tisdale concedes the Order identified
in the Notice of Appeal is not appealable as a final judgment. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a); 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
