Carol Johnene Morris filed a pro se appeal challenging an order rescinding a prior order that had granted an extension of time to Morris to respond to requests for admission.  We dismiss for want of jurisdiction pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.


After receiving the notice of appeal, the clerk of this court wrote Morris directing her to respond showing grounds for continuing her appeal.  Morris has responded by filing a response in which she details some background facts and various rulings and proceedings in the trial court.  Unless specifically authorized by statute, appeals may be taken only from final judgments.  Tex. A & M Univ. Sys. v. Koseoglu, 233 S.W.3d 835, 840-41 (Tex. 2007); Lehmann v. Har‑Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191 (Tex. 2001).  Morris has not established why the order she is challenging is appealable at this time.

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
