                                      In The

                    Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                              NO. 14-23-00175-CV

               DIANA INGRID REISMANN SEXTON, Appellant
                                        V.
                         GILBERT SEXTON, Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 505th District Court
                            Fort Bend County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 19-DCV-264966

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an attempted appeal from an order denying a motion to recuse signed
March 1, 2023. An order denying a motion to recuse may be reviewed on appeal
from the final judgment. Tex. R. Civ. P. 18a(j)(1)(B). There is no final judgment in
this matter.

      Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v.
Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). When orders do not dispose of
all pending parties and claims, the orders remain interlocutory and unappealable
until final judgment is rendered unless a statutory exception applies. Bally Total
Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352 (Tex. 2001); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc.
v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). There are no
statutory provisions authorizing an interlocutory appeal from an order denying a
motion to recuse a judge. See In re Hart, 460 S.W.3d 742, 743 (Tex. App.—Fort
Worth 2015, no pet.).

      On April 19, 2023, notification was transmitted to the parties of this court’s
intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant filed a
response demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal on or before May 1,
2023. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant did not file a response.

      Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Hassan, and Wilson.
