                                MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Francis and Lang-Miers
                                Opinion By Chief Justice Wright

        Before the Court is appellees’ October 18. 2012 motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction. Specifically. appellees contend the trial court’s judgment is interlocutory. Appellants

did not file a response.

        Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. See Lehman?? v. Har-Con Corp.

39 S.W.3d 191. 195 (Te. 2001). Ajudgment is final if it disposes of all pending parties and claims.

Id. Orders that do not dispose of all pending parties and claims are interlocutory and, subject to a

few exceptions. unappealable until a final judgment is rendered. id.

       Appellants filed their notice of appeal on     August   26. 2012. In their notice of appeal.
appellants state they are appealing the trial court’s August 5. 201 2 judgment    .   Appellees tiled a

motion to modift on August 3 1 2012 pointing out to the trial court that their counterclaims remained
                                .

pending. [he trial court rendered an amended judgment on September 8, 2012 vacating itsj udgment

dated   August   5. 2012 and ordering that appellants take nothing on their claims. The amended

judgment states that it does not dispose of all claims and all parties and is interlocutory.

        Appellees’ counterclaims against appellants remain pending and, thus, there is no appealable

final judgment. Accordingly. we grant appellees motion and dismiss the appeal ibr want of

jurisdiction. Sec Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
