IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
 

No. 10-02-248-CV

     RESTITUTION REVIVAL, 
     AN UNINCORPORATED RELIGIOUS 
     ASSOCIATION,
                                                                              Appellant
     v.

     WACO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT,
     AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT,
                                                                              Appellee
 

From the County Court at Law No. 1
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court # 20011267 CV1
                                                                                                                

MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                                                                                                

      This is an appeal of a condemnation proceeding.  Neither party filed objections to the special
commissioner’s findings, and the trial court entered the findings in a judgment.  See Tex. Prop.
Code Ann. §§ 21.018 & 21.061 (Vernon 1984).  It is well settled that a judgment which a court
renders on the basis of an award to which there have been no objections is the judgment of a
special tribunal and is not, therefore, a judgment from which an appeal will lie.  Rose v. State, 497
S.W.2d 444, 445 (Tex. 1973); Pearson v. State, 315 S.W.2d 935, 938 (Tex. 1958); Patrick Media
Group, Inc., v. Dallas Area Rapid Transit, 879 S.W.2d 375, 376-77 (Tex. App.—Eastland 1994,
writ denied).  Absent any objections to the commissioner’s findings, we have no jurisdiction to
entertain this appeal.  See Patrick, 879 S.W.2d at 377.
      The appeal is dismissed.
