MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal of a condemnation proceeding. Neither party filed objections to the special commissioner's findings, and the trial court entered the findings in a judgment. See Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 21.018 21.061 (Vernon 1984). It is well settled that a judgment which a court renders on the basis of an award to which there have been no objections is the judgment of a special tribunal and is not, therefore, a judgment from which an appeal will lie. Rose v. State, 497 S.W.2d 444, 445 (Tex. 1973); Pearson v. State, 315 S.W.2d 935, 938 (Tex. 1958); Patrick Media Group, Inc., v. Dallas Area Rapid Transit, 879 S.W.2d 375, 376-77 (Tex.App.-Eastland 1994, writ denied). Absent any objections to the commissioner's findings, we have no jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. See Patrick, 879 S.W.2d at 377.
The appeal is dismissed.
