The district court rendered judgment in this cause on January 26, 2000, and signed the final order on October 8, 2001. Appellant filed a notice of appeal, a copy of which was received by the clerk of this Court on January 7, 2002. However, appellant had filed a motion for new trial. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(a). The clerk of this Court received notice that the motion was granted by the district court on January 10, 2002. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(c), (d). As a result, there is no final judgment before this Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
