                        Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

U-HAUL CORP /DBA: U-HAUL MOVING AND STORAGE OF CEDAR HILL, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 116th Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
                                   Opinion by Justice Evans

       By notice of appeal filed August 17, 2018, Jeannette L. Johnson challenges the trial court’s
order of that same date compelling arbitration. Because an order compelling arbitration is
reviewable on appeal only upon final judgment and the clerk’s record does not reflect a final
judgment has been signed, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal. See Human Biostar,
Inc. v. Celltex Therapeutics Corp., 514 S.W.3d 844, 847 (Tex. App.—Houston[14th Dist.] 2017,
pet. denied). At our request, the parties filed letter briefs addressing our concern. Appellant’s
letter brief, however, fails to demonstrate our jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
and all pending motions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
