        By letter dated September 27. 2012. the Court questioned its jurisdiction over the appeal.

Specifically, it appears there is no final judgment. We requested appellants to file, within ten days,

a jurisdictional brief explaining how this Court hasjurisdiction over the appeal. As of today’s date,

appellants have not filed a jurisdictional brief.

        Except in circumstances not applicable here, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals

from final judgments. See Lehrnann v. F/ar-Con Coip,, 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A final

judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. Id.

       Appellants are appealing the trial court’s December 20. 201] order granting the motion for

summary judgment filed by Angelia Williams. one of several defendants. Although the trial court’s
order disinsscx the claims ‘dgainst Ms. \Vi II iams. appellmils clmms against the other detndants

remuin pendine. lor this reason. the judgment is not tinal and appealable.   CC   Ie/i,iiciiin, 39 S\V.3d

at 195 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal Par want of jurisdiction. See TEx. R. A1p. P. 42.3(a).
