No. 05-07-00060-CV (Tex. App. Feb. 15, 2007)

Opinion

No. 05-07-00060-CV.

Opinion Filed February 15, 2007.

On Appeal from the 416 th Judicial District Court, Collin County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 416-2736-06.

Before Chief Justice THOMAS and Justices BRIDGES and FITZGERALD.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


On January 19, 2007, appellant filed a notice of appeal in this case indicating that he was appealing the trial court's November 28, 2006 order granting his counsel's motion to withdraw. Appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and such interlocutory orders as the legislature deems appealable. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998). An order granting a motion to withdraw as counsel is not an appealable interlocutory order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a) (Vernon Supp. 2006).

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
