appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would
dismiss the appeal. We have received no response.
A party may appeal only from a final judgment or an interlocutory order
specifically made appealable by statute or rule. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39
S.W.3d 191, 195 & n.12 (Tex. 2001); see, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2008) (listing appealable interlocutory orders).
Because the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable
interlocutory order, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
