Randolph V. Gonzalez, Cary Street Partners, Riverstone Wealth Management,
Kyle Coward, Beth Layman, First Clearing, Tara Randle, River Del Llano,

Does 1 through 20, Appellees
FROM THE 459TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-19-003849, THE HONORABLE DUSTIN M. HOWELL, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Yevgenia Shockome, appearing pro se, seeks to appeal an order signed
by the trial court on October 24, 2019, denying “Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike Pleadings and for
Default Judgment.” Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Shockhome has not filed a response to the motion explaining why this Court has jurisdiction.
Generally, the jurisdiction of this Court is limited to the review of final judgments.
Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be
appealed only if allowed by statute. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352
(Tex. 2001); see Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 51.012, .014. Based on the record before us, it
appears that the trial court has not yet rendered a final judgment, and no statute authorizes an
interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion to strike or from the denial of a motion for
default judgment.
Accordingly, we grant the motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
