### MEMORANDUM OPINION Before ChiefJustice Wright and Justices Francis 

### and Lang—Miers Opinion By ChiefJustice Wright Ourjurisdiction is neverpresumed and is invoked only upon the tiling ola notice ofappeal from either an interlocutory order the legislature has deemed appealable or a final judgment that disposes ofall parties and claims in a case. See 

### Lehmann v, liar-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191. 195 (Tex. 2001); Bee/thom Group, P.C. v. Snyder, 315 S.W.3d244,245 (Tex. App.—2010, nopet.). At

issue in this appeal is the trial courts order striking the second amended petition of appellants, and plaintiffsbelow. Vince Fudzie. individual!, and TMV. LLC (1/h/aTriune (collectively. “Fudzie).’ Generally, an order striking an amended pleading has the effect ofrestoring the immediatelyprecedingpleading as the livepleadinguponwhichtheparties will proceed attrial. TEx. R. Civ. P. 65: see also Rand/c v. NCNB 7x. Nat/Bank. 812 S.W.2d 381, 384 (Tex. App—Dallas 1991. no writ) (quoting Girdenbaum v. .‘ickermann. 393 S.W.2d 927. 929 (Tex. Civ. App.-——San Antonio 1965). a/7”d. 403 S.W.2d 362 (Tex. 1966)). As such, it is interlocutory and not final. We have found no authority allowing the appeal from an interlocutory order striking an amendedpleading. SeegenerallyTEX. Civ. PRAc. &RErvi. CODEANN. 

## § 5 1.014 (West Supp. 2012) (listing appealable interlocutory orders). 2 By letterdated September 27. 2012. we directed Fudzie
to file, within ten days, aletterbriefaddressing ourconcern. To date. Fudziehas failedto comply.

The order is based on a motion by three ofthe appellees asserting the petition was filed in violation ofthe pleadingieadline set by the trial court See TEX. R. Civ P 166. Authority for interlocutors appeals is also contained in Te\as Rule ol C i’ I Procedure 76a and interspersed among arious other stutute See Fex R Civ. R 76aX) orderrelatingto sealingorunscalingolcourtrecords:seuciLio e g..
