MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
Appellant Sherilyn Magee-Flick, Individually, as Personal Representative, as Heir to and on Behalf of All Beneficiaries to The Estate of Mabel Phillips appeals from the trial court=s interlocutory order compelling binding arbitration. On February 11, 2008, we sent Appellant a letter stating our concern that we may have no jurisdiction over this appeal because the order does not appear to be a final appealable order or judgment, nor does it appear to be an appealable interlocutory order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. ' 51.014(a) (Vernon Supp. 2007) (listing appealable interlocutory orders), ' 171.098(a)(1) (allowing interlocutory appeals to be taken from orders denying an application to compel arbitration); Lehmann v. Har‑Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (providing general rule that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment). We indicated that this court would dismiss this appeal if we did not receive a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by February 21, 2008. We received no response.
Accordingly, because the order is neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
