MEMORANDUM OPINION
Bobby Ray Hailey attempted to file a lawsuit against Appellees. The trial court signed an order without a docket number styled In re Petition of Bobby Ray Hailey ordering the district clerk not to file the lawsuit. Hailey seeks to appeal the court's order. However, the order in question is not one which this Court has jurisdiction to review by direct appeal. See Simpson v. Sehon, No. 10-03-215-CV, slip op. at 2, 2003 Tex. App. LEXIS 10911, at *2 (Tex. App.-Waco Dec. 31, 2001, no pet. h.) (mem. op.); In re Bernard, 993 S.W.2d 453, 455 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding) (O'Connor, J., concurring).
The Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the trial court had not signed an appealable order and that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction if a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal was not filed within 10 days. Appellant has not filed a response which states a basis for this Court to exercise jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
