On January 5, 2006, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not identify a judgment or other appealable order. The appellant filed a response but failed to identify any authority in support of appellate jurisdiction.

The notice of appeal seeks to appeal an order granting summary judgment as to one of two defendants in the case. The clerk's record does not contain an order of severance. The trial court has not signed its final judgment on the case. No appealable order has been signed by the trial court. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
