On Appeal from the 61st District Court

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Daniel Nghiem attempts to appeal from an order, signed May 9, 2016, entitled
“ORDER ON SECOND MOTION TO STRIKE INTERVENTION OF DANIEL
NGHIEN,” which strikes his intervention.
We have jurisdiction to hear an interlocutory appeal only if authorized by
statute. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014 (West 2008); Stary v.
DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352–53 (Tex. 1998). An interlocutory order striking an
intervention is not an appealable order. See Metromedia Long Distance, Inc. v.
Hughes, 810 S.W.2d 494, 499 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1991, writ denied) (holding
that order dismissing or striking petition in intervention may not be appealed by
intervenor before rendition of final judgment); In re E.C., No. 02–14–00158–CV,
2014 WL 3536712, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth July 17, 2014, no pet.) (dismissing
appeal of order granting motion to strike plea in intervention for want of
jurisdiction); Barrett v. Barrett, No. 14–03–00373–CV, 2004 WL 1925972, at *1–2
(Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 31, 2004, no pet.) (dismissing appeal from
order striking petition in intervention for want of jurisdiction). Moreover, the record
contains no severance order that might have made this order final.
On June 9, 2016, this Court issued a notice to Nghiem, advising him that we
would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless he filed a response on or
before June 20, 2016 establishing that this court had jurisdiction. Nghiem did not
file a response.
We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Brown, and Huddle.
