COURT OF APPEALS
                          SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                               FORT WORTH

                                NO. 2-08-429-CV

PAMELA R. JIMISON                                                      APPELLANT

                                         V.

PROFESSIONAL CARETAKERS, INC.                                            APPELLEE

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

           FROM THE 153RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

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

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
                                     ------------

      Appellant Pamela R. Jimison filed a notice of appeal on November 7,

2008, complaining of the trial court’s August 18, 2008 order granting

Professional Caretakers, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment. The order states

that it “is a final judgment disposing of all claims of all parties and is subject to

appeal.” But the order makes clear that the only motion before it is that of

Professional Caretakers, Inc., and the order does not expressly dispose of Texas

      1
          … See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Workforce Commission, another defendant who appears in the order’s style. 2

This court has confirmed that no severance order has been issued and that this

case has a trial setting for the week of March 9, 2009.

      Because the order granting Professional Caretakers, Inc.’s motion for

summary judgment did not dispose of Texas Workforce Commission and

because the trial court had not signed a severance order, we notified Appellant

on January 6, 2009, of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal.

We indicated that we would dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction unless we

received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by January 16,

2009. We have received no response.

      Accordingly, because Appellant’s claims against Texas Workforce

Commission remain pending, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.3
