Carter and Moseley, JJ.
                                            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley

                                                     MEMORANDUM 
OPINION
 
            This
is an appeal by Carlos A. Armenta from the trial court’s order dismissing his
cause of action against defendants the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice–Institutional Division, et al. 

            The
order entered in this appeal, however, states that “Plaintiff’s §1983 claim of
deliberate indifference against Defendant Ayers is NOT DISMISSED.” 
            The
general rule is that a final and appealable judgment must determine the entire
controversy, disposing of all the parties and issues in a case.  Schlipf
v. Exxon Corp., 644 S.W.2d 453, 454 (Tex. 1982); N. E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex.
1966); Wagner v. Warnasch, 156 Tex.
334, 295 S.W.2d 890, 892 (1956).
            Because
the trial court’s order dismissing this suit did not dispose of all defendants,
it is not final, and this is an interlocutory appeal from a nonappealable
judgment.  Accordingly, we dismiss
Armenta’s appeal for want of jurisdiction.
