    HAROLD K. GAUSE, Appellant



    V.



    MARCUS PARKER, JR. AND SAMUEL HILL, Appellees




    On Appeal from the 411th District Court

    Polk County, Texas

    Trial Cause No. CIV24040




    MEMORANDUM OPINION

    On May 1, 2008, Harold K. Gause filed notice of appeal. The trial court verbally granted a temporary injunction but has not signed a written order. Generally, appellate courts review only final judgments and interlocutory orders specifically made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). When the trial court grants a temporary injunction, the appellate timetables run from the date the trial court signs the written order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b). In this case, the trial court has not reduced its order to writing. The Court requested a written reply addressing this Court's jurisdiction, and informed the parties a failure to respond may result in dismissal of the appeal. The parties did not respond. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

    APPEAL DISMISSED.
