Lauren Heather McMahan, Appellant v. Adolfo Gallela, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 10, 2017, we notified appellant Lauren Heather McMahan that the appellate record in this case does not appear to contain a final or otherwise appealable order. This Court's jurisdiction is limited to the review of final judgments and certain interlocutory orders signed by the trial court. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012, .014; see also Lehman v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). We requested that McMahan file a response demonstrating how this Court might exercise jurisdiction over the appeal. She has responded with two telephone calls and two motions, but none of these demonstrated that a final judgment or appealable order has been signed by the trial court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
