      Blakenergy, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership, has filed a petition for

permissive appeal asking this court to review interlocutory orders of the trial court

regarding Blakenergy’s expert witness Steve D. Goolsby and the related denials

of Blakenergy’s motion for continuance and motion to reconsider.           We have

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
considered the petition, response, and reply. Given the requirement that we

construe section 51.014 strictly, 2 we decline to entertain this appeal, and we

hereby dismiss it. 3

       See Rogers v. Orr, 408 S.W.3d 640, 642 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2013,
pet. denied) (“We strictly construe a statute authorizing an interlocutory appeal
because it is an exception to the general rule that only final judgments are
appealable.”).
