Order + Order = Final

Novo Point LLC v. Katz illustrates a situation when a series of orders can create judgment finality – as well as the importance of the specific language used in orders to refer to the claims that they address: “In arguing the appeal should be dismissed as untimely, Katz asserts that the trial court’s order on Schepps’s motion dismissed all of Baron’s intervention claims, not just the claims against Schepps, because it dismissed “each of the stated claims enumerated above[,]” which were all of the live claims in Baron’s amended plea. And because following that order, the only claims remaining were appellants’ claims, Katz argues the order granting Sandler Siegel’s motion dismissing all of appellants’ claims constituted a final judgment from which the trial court’s plenary power and appellate deadlines ran. We agree.”  No. 05-23-00677-CV (June 16, 2025).
