TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-19-00813-CV

              FROM THE 459TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
   NO. D-1-GN-19-003849, THE HONORABLE DUSTIN M. HOWELL, JUDGE PRESIDING

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Appellant Yevgenia Shockome, appearing pro se, seeks to appeal an order signed

by the trial court on October 24, 2019, denying “Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike Pleadings and for

Default Judgment.” Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Shockhome has not filed a response to the motion explaining why this Court has jurisdiction.

              Generally, the jurisdiction of this Court is limited to the review of final judgments.

Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be

appealed only if allowed by statute. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352

(Tex. 2001); see Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012, .014. Based on the record before us, it

appears that the trial court has not yet rendered a final judgment, and no statute authorizes an
interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion to strike or from the denial of a motion for

default judgment.

               Accordingly, we grant the motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
