HALE, Justice.

This is an attempted appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Freestone County finally disposing of an ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍action in forcible detainer without the award of any damages. Art. 3992 of Vernon’s Tex. *789 Civ. Stats, provides in substance that such judgment is conclusive of the litigation and that no further appeal shall be allowed. In construing and applying the ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍provisions of the foregoing statute, the courts of this State have held repeatedly that an appeal does not lie from a judgment of the county court disposing of an action in forcible entry or detainer unless damages in excess ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍of $100.00 are awarded. Lane v. Jack, 25 Tex.Civ.App. 496, 61 S.W. 422; Kerlin v. Bassett, Tex.Civ.App., 152 S.W. 526; Delgado v. Chapa, Tex.Civ.App., 173 S.W. 1169; Tibbitts v. Lacy, Tex.Civ.App., 225 S.W. 190; Rose v. Skiles, Tex.Civ.App., 245 S.W. 127; Beacon Lumber Co. v. ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍Brown, Tex.Com.App., 14 S.W.2d 1022; Cox, Inc., v. Knight, Tex.Civ.App., 50 S.W. 2d 915; Madison v. Martinez, Tex.Civ. App., 56 S.W.2d 908; Brown v. Grant, Tex.Civ.App., 119 S.W.2d 185.

Because we are of the opinion that this court does not have jurisdiction to review any ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍part of the judgment of which complaint is here made, the attempted appeal must be and it is hereby dismissed.
