                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Michael Wayne Osborne filed a notice of appeal from interlocutory orders

denying a motion for default judgment and denying a motion for a bench warrant.

We notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of

appeal and that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless a

response demonstrating this Court’s jurisdiction was filed by November 30, 2015.

The appellant did not file a written response.

      Generally, an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment. Lehmann v.

Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be

appealed only if a statute authorizes an accelerated appeal. Bally Total Fitness

Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352 (Tex. 2001); see Tex. R. App. P. 28.1. The

appellant has not filed a response showing that the trial court has signed a final

judgment or an order that is appealable at this time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. We

dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
