MEMORANDUM OPINION
Eric Carson Wynn, appellant, has filed a motion asking this Court to abate his appeal in order to determine when the judgment was actually rendered in his suit. The suit was a petition to establish the parent-child relationship. A clerk's record was filed March 16, 2005. The only order contained therein is an order signed September 3, 2004, granting Wynn's motion for paternity testing and granting the respondent's motion for a protective order, and appointing an amicus attorney to represent the child. It is clear both from Wynn's brief and from his motion he is not attempting to appeal from that order, but from some later ruling. However, the record does not contain any later orders or judgment. We have contacted the district clerk's office and have been informed no other order or judgment has been entered in this case.
On March 21, 2005, we sent a letter to Wynn questioning our jurisdiction over the case and warning him that, unless he could show us within ten days that an appealable order or judgment exists in this case, we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. REM. CODE ANN. § 51.012 (Vernon 1997); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
