MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

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

Sherekhan Lamar Evans a/k/a Shon Evans filed a notice of appeal from a July 28, 2009 “Interlocutory Default Judgment.”  It appears that the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order.  On September 30, 2009, we notified Appellant that unless he or any other party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response by October 12, 2009, showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss the appeal.  Appellant did not file a response, and we have not received a response from any other party.

A party may appeal only from a final judgment or an interlocutory order specifically made appealable by statute or rule.

, 
e.g.
,Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2009) (listing appealable interlocutory orders). Because the trial court has not signed a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
