                                 Court of Appeals
                          Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                            NORVIS J. HARRIS, Appellee

                        On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5
                                    Dallas County, Texas
                            Trial Court Cause No. CC-06-13558-E

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                            Before Justices Lang, Brown, and Whitehill
                                   Opinion by Justice Whitehill
       In its notice of appeal, appellant states it is appealing the trial court’s “August 31, 2017

denial of its Application for Writ of Scire Facias.” By letter dated December 28, 2017, the Court

questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal as the clerk’s record did not contain a signed order on

the application for writ of scire facias. We instructed appellant to file, by January 9, 2018, a letter

brief addressing our concern and cautioned that failure to do so may result in dismissal of the

appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a response.

       Generally, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments and certain

interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191,

195 (Tex. 2001). A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. Id.
Appellate timetables run from the date the appealable order or judgment is signed. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 26.1.

       The record before this Court does not contain a final judgment or other appealable order.

Without a judgment or other appealable order, there is nothing for this Court to review.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
