MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-26-00347-CV
Angel C. GONZALES,
Appellant
v.
FREEDOM MORTGAGE CORPORATION,
Appellee
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2025-CI-18120
Honorable Norma Gonzales, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
Adrian A. Spears II, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 1, 2026
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On April 28, 2026, appellant filed a notice of restricted appeal indicating that he wished to
appeal from a “final judgment/order of dismissal signed on: January 28, 2026.” The clerk’s record,
which was filed in this court on June 12, 2026, does not contain any judgments or orders signed
by the trial court. In response to an inquiry from this court, the Bexar County District Clerk’s
Office confirmed that the trial court did not sign any judgments or orders on January 28, 2026.
04-26-00347-CV
Our appellate jurisdiction is limited to appeals from written, signed final judgments and
appealable interlocutory orders. See, e.g., Sammour v. Fed. Gov’t, No. 02-20-00268-CV, 2020 WL
6601596, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Nov. 12, 2020, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op.). Because
it appeared that no appealable judgment or order had been signed in the underlying case, we
ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
On June 24, 2026, appellant filed the response required by our order. The response
represented that the order appellant intended to challenge “was entered in proceedings pending
before the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas[.]” Because we lack
authority to review an order of a federal court, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
