Holiday Inn Express and Mark Pavlicek, Former General Manager of

Holiday Inn Express, Appellees

Because there is no final judgment from the trial court in this matter we will dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Appellant submitted his Notice of Appeal to the trial court on October 26, 1999. By letter dated December 20, 1999, this court notified all parties that it did not appear that a final judgment existed in this matter, and that appellant was requested to obtain a final judgment from the trial court and submit same to this office by January 10, 2000. Thus far appellant has failed to respond.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction on our own motion.
