SMITH, Justice.

This case is brought to The Supreme Court of Texas by direct appeal from a judgment of the 98th District Court of Travis County. We have concluded that this Court has no jurisdiction of the appeal and accordingly dismiss it. ¡

On October 11, 1957, J. M. Falkner, the Banking Commissioner of Texas, issued an order which denied approval of the application of Gibraltar Savings Association to open a “branch savings and loan office” in the Spring Branch area of Houston. The Commissioner’s action was taken pursuant to Article 881a-l, Vernon’s Annotated Civil Statutes.
