Section 51.014 permits appeals from specified interlocutory orders but does not permit an appeal from an order vacating a default judgment.
Smith v. Steptoe & Johnson PLLC · filed 2025-10-07
The trial court’s July 30 order vacating the default judgment is not an appealable interlocutory order because it does not finally dispose of all claims and all parties. See Stary v.

Law changed since The 2011 amendment requires the court of appeals to accept a permissive appeal for suits filed on or after September 1, 2011.
For lawsuits filed before September 1, 2011, former § 51.014 permits an agreed interlocutory appeal without an appellate court order accepting it.

Because this lawsuit was filed before September 1, 2011, the former civil practice and remedies code section 51.014 applies to this case rather than the amended rule; therefore, this appeal was an agreed interlocutory appeal, not a permissive interlocutory appeal requiring this court’s order accepting the appeal.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
