Opinion Filed August 13, 2008.
On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 08-4692.
Before Justices MORRIS, WHITTINGTON, and O'NEILL.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Court has before it appellees' July 30, 2008 motion to dismiss this interlocutory appeal for want of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond to the motion. After reviewing the documents before the Court, we conclude we have no jurisdiction over the appeal.
Appellant is appealing the trial court's June 30, 2008 interlocutory order suspending him as a trustee. Appellate courts have jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals only to the extent a statute specifically provides for it. See Dallas County v. Wadley, 168 S.W.3d 373, 375 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2007, pet. denied). Further, we strictly construe statutes giving us jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals. Id.
The Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code provides for appeals from interlocutory an order that appoints a trustee and from an order that overrules a motion to vacate an order that appoints a trustee. See Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(1), (2) (Vernon 2008). Nothing in section 51.014 provides for an interlocutory appeal from an order that suspends a trustee under section 114.008 of the Texas Property Code. See id.
Accordingly, we grant appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
