The Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal because there does not appear to be a final judgment or other appealable order. We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern with an opportunity for appellees to file a response. Appellant has complied.

Generally, this Court has jurisdiction over final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. Lehmann v. Har–Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); see also T C IV P RAC . & R EM . C ODE NN . § 51.014(a) (listing appealable interlocutory orders). A final judgment is one that disposes of all parties and claims. See Lehmann , 39 S.W.3d at 195.

Gail Phillips Mizer sued appellant. Appellant filed counterclaims against Ms. Mizer and third-party claims against Stephen Mizer and Stephen Jack Mizer. In his notice of appeal, appellant states he is appealing “the final judgment rendered on August 2, 2021.” The trial court signed two orders on August 2 – (1) granting Ms. Mizer’s motion for summary judgment on appellant’s counterclaims ^[1] and (2) granting third-party defendant Stephen Mizer’s motion for summary judgment. Although Stephen Mizer asserted a counterclaim for attorney’s fees, the trial court’s order does not dispose of it. Thus, appellant’s third-party claims against Stephen Jack Mizer and Stephen Mizer’s counterclaim for attorney’s fees remain pending.

Appellant filed a letter brief wherein he acknowledged no final judgment has been signed, noting that neither of the two orders appealed contained finality language and that he would remove the “stumbling block” regarding Stephen Jack Mizer “by the time the case is re-offered for appeal.” Because no final judgment has been rendered, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
