Long v. Humble Oil & Refining Co.
380 S.W.2d 554
Tex.
1964
Check Treatment
PER CURIAM.

The question common to all the above causes is whether or not an appeal lay to the Court of Civil Appeals from an order sustaining a motion for change of venue predicated upon the provisions of Rule 257 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. 1 The Court of Civil Appeals held in Long v. Humble Oil and Refining Co., 377 S.W.2d 844, that the order was interlocutory and non-appealable. By appropriate orders the decision in the Long case was made applicable to the other causes set forth in the-caption to this opinion.

The decision of the Court of Civil Appeals is contrary to that of the Amarillo Court of Civil Appeals in City of Irving v. Luttrell, 351 S.W.2d 941, no writ history (1961).

We have jurisdiction to determine whether or not the Court of Civil Appeals has jurisdiction of the interlocutory orders from which the appeals were attempted. McCauley v. Consolidated Underwriters, 157 Tex. 475, 304 S.W.2d 265 (1957).

We hold that it does not. ,We are in agreement with the decisions of the Court of Civil Appeals in the present causes, Rule 483, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. The applications for writs of error are refused.
