MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Pending before the Court is Appellants’ motion to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the
trial court’s judgment is not final.  We dismiss the appeal.
            Appellate courts generally have jurisdiction over final judgments and such interlocutory
orders as the legislature deems appealable.  Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Ann. § 51.012 (Vernon
1997) and § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2006); Ruiz v. Ruiz, 946 S.W.2d 123, 124 (Tex.App.--El Paso
1997, no writ).  It appears that the order granting Allstate Indemnity Company’s motion for summary
judgment is not a final judgment.  Accordingly, we grant Appellants’ motion and dismiss the appeal
for lack of jurisdiction.
