DERRICK GLEN BLACKSHIRE, II, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 3 Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 18-CCR-205651 and 18-CCR-205655
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon (trial court cause number 18-CCR-205651, appeal number 14-20-00410-CR) and possession of a controlled substance, specifically codeine, in an amount of less than twenty-eight grams (trial court cause number 18-CCR-205655; appeal number 14-20-00411-CR). Appellant appeals the trial court's May 29, 2020 denial of his motions to suppress in the two underlying cases, as well as another case on appeal in this court case (trial court cause number 18-CCR-205657; appeal number 14-20-00409-CR).
The record in each case reflects we lack jurisdiction over these two appeals because the trial-court cases (trial court cause number 18-CCR-205651, appeal number 14-20-00410-CR; trial court cause number 18-CCR-205655; appeal number 14-20-00411-CR) were dismissed with leave to refìle on February 20, 2020 after appellant pleaded guilty in the other underlying case (trial court cause number 18-CCR-205657; appeal number 14-20-00409-CR). Generally, we have jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant only where there has been a final judgment of conviction. Bridle v. State, 16 S.W.3d 906, 907 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2000, no pet.) (per curiam); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.) (per curiam).
On July 17, 2020, this court notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless a party demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received.
We dismiss the appeals.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Spain, Hassan, and Poissant.
