PER CURIAM HEADING

NO. 12-04-00009-CV

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

WENONA PARRISH CORBETT,§
	APPEAL FROM THE 
APPELLANT

V.§
	JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF

CATTLEMEN'S LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.,
APPELLEE§
	UPSHUR COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM

	Appellant Wenona Parrish Corbett ("Corbett") filed a notice of appeal on January 14, 2004. 
The notice of appeal does not state the date of the judgment or order appealed from as required by
rule 25.1(d)(2) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.  Corbett also filed a copy of a motion for
new trial filed in the District Court of Upshur County on January 12, 2004.  Attached to the motion
for new trial is a copy of a default judgment against Corbett signed on February 21, 2003 in the
Circuit Court of Pike County, Arkansas.  By her motion for new trial, Corbett seeks to prevent the
enforcement of the Arkansas judgment. 
	On January 15, 2004, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 37.1, this court notified
Corbett that the information received in this appeal does not include an appealable order and
therefore does not show the jurisdiction of this court.  Corbett was further notified that unless she
amended the information in this appeal on or before January 26, 2004, the appeal would be
dismissed.  On January 20, 2004, Corbett responded to our notice by informing the court that the
appeal is "from the filing of a Foreign Judgment" and submitting a copy of a Notice of Filing Foreign
Judgment prepared by the District Clerk of Upshur County, Texas and addressed to Corbett.

	This court's appellate jurisdiction is limited to appeals from final judgments and such
interlocutory orders as the legislature has deemed appealable.  City of Houston v. Kilburn, 849
S.W.2d 810, 811 (Tex. 1993); see, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon
Supp. 2003).  The mere filing of a foreign judgment is not appealable.  Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Opinion delivered January 30, 2004.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and DeVasto, J.
