FABIAN THOMAS, Appellant

V.

BRYSEN WILLIAMS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 481st District Court
Denton County, Texas
Trial Court No. 24-10979-481

Before Wallach, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Walker, J.
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Fabian Thomas filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s August

20, 2025 order granting summary judgment for Appellee Brysen Williams and

dismissing Thomas’s claims against him. The order does not state that it is final and

appealable, and it does not dispose of Thomas’s claims against another defendant.

We notified Thomas of our concern that we might not have jurisdiction over

this appeal because the order did not appear to be a final judgment or appealable

interlocutory order. See CMH Homes v. Perez, 340 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. 2011)

(“Unless a statute authorizes an interlocutory appeal, appellate courts generally only

have jurisdiction over final judgments.”); see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann.

§ 51.014 (listing appealable interlocutory orders); In re Elizondo, 544 S.W.3d 824,

827 (Tex. 2018) (orig. proceeding) (discussing how appellate court may determine

whether order or judgment is final). We notified Thomas that we could dismiss the

appeal unless, by September 18, 2025, he or another party filed a response showing

grounds for continuing it.

Thomas has not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want

of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
