Bozeman v. Kornblit, 232 S.W.3d 261 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.).
The appellate court held that an order approving an account for final
settlement under Probate Code § 405 was not a final order and thus not
appealable. The court explained that it was clear the order was not
final because the order itself specified additional actions that needed
to be accomplished to achieve final settlement and the closing of the
estate.
Moral: A party appealing a lower court’s probate order must make certain
the order is appealable. If in doubt, the party wishing to appeal should
take some action such as seeking a severance order.
