MEMORANDUM OPINION1
 
------------
        Appellant 
Stephen E. Betts is attempting to appeal the trial court’s order granting his 
counsel’s motion to withdraw. On April 13, 2004, we notified appellant, in 
accordance with rule of appellate procedure 42.3, that this court may not have 
jurisdiction over this appeal because it appears the order is not a final 
judgment or an appealable interlocutory order. We stated that the appeal would 
be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless appellant or any party desiring to 
continue the appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing 
grounds for continuing the appeal.
        Appellant’s 
response to our jurisdiction letter does not state sufficient grounds for 
continuing the appeal. Because there is no final judgment or appealable 
interlocutory order, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See 
TEX. R. APP. 
P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
