MEMORANDUM OPINION ¹

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

PER CURIAM.

Reginald Dale Peters has filed a notice of appeal from a "hearing on October 31, 2008." It appears that the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order. On December 17, 2008, we notified Appellant that unless he or any other party desiring to continue the 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).
