Diversified Financial Systems, Inc. and Diversified Financial Southeast, Inc., Petitioners v. Hill, Heard, O’neal…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's order severing interlocutory claims expressly provided that the severed action would not reach final judgment until a later judgment was entered, so the interlocutory summary judgment did not become final at the time of severance and the petitioners' appeal was timely. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for consideration of the appeal on the merits.
