      We have considered the “Petition for Permission to Appeal Interlocutory

Order” filed by Charles F. Stark, Barron, Stark & Swift Consulting Engineers,

requirement that we strictly construe section 51.014, we decline to entertain this

appeal, and we hereby dismiss it.      See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann.

§ 51.014(d)–(f) (West 2015); Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Rogers v. Orr, 408 S.W.3d

640, 642 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2013, pet. denied) (“We strictly construe a

statute authorizing an interlocutory appeal because it is an exception to the

general rule that only final judgments are appealable.”).
