                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Whitehill, and Justice Nowell
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
       This is an appeal from two summary judgment orders that disposed of appellant’s claims

against appellees but left pending a counterclaim for attorney’s fees. On October 15, 2019, we

construed a letter filed by appellees questioning our jurisdiction in light of the pending

counterclaim as a motion to dismiss the appeal and requested a response from appellant. See

Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (subject to mostly statutory

exceptions, appeal may only be taken from final judgment that disposes of all claims and parties).

By letter filed October 25, 2019, appellant concedes the appeal is premature. Accordingly, because
a final judgment has not been signed, we grant appellees’ motion and dismiss the appeal for want

of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
