ESTATE OF DAVID LEE CARPENTER, SR.,

DECEASED                                                                                                          

                                                       ------------

                   FROM PROBATE COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY

                                                       ------------

                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                                       ------------

Appellant Bob J. Shelton filed a notice of appeal from a January 12, 2010 order denying his Motion For Reconsideration of Sanctions. It appears that the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order.  On March 2, 2010, we notified Appellant that unless he or any other party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response by March 12, 2010, showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss the appeal.  No response has been filed.

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(a) (Vernon 2008) (listing appealable interlocutory orders). Because the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
