MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Yañez

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam


         Appellant, Karen Williamson, filed a notice of appeal on September 29, 2003 attacking the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law entered on July 24, 2002. On September 30, 2003, we informed appellant: (1) that the final judgment at issue in this case had been appealed to this Court and docketed under cause number 13-01-312-CV; (2) that said appeal had been dismissed by this Court on August 23, 2001; and (3) that the mandate in that case had been issued on May 21, 2002. We further informed appellant that the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law did not constitute an appealable order. We informed appellant that her appeal would be dismissed if these defects were not corrected.

         Appellant’s response fails to establish that we have jurisdiction over this appeal. The trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law do not constitute a final, appealable order. Unless otherwise statutorily authorized, an appeal may be made only from a final judgment. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 51.012, 51.014 (Vernon 1997 & Supp. 2004). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. All pending motions are dismissed as moot.                                                                                      

                                                                                 PER CURIAM
