Do not publish.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Per Curiam
Appellant, Bol Marko Deng, is under indictment for murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On March 20, 2023, Appellant filed a notice of appeal, pro se, seeking to appeal the trial court's purported orders setting bail. We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
We have jurisdiction in a criminal case to consider an appeal from a judgment of guilt or where jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law. See Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 697-98 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). An order setting bail is neither a judgment of guilt nor an appealable order. See Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) ("There is no constitutional or statutory authority granting the courts of appeals jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeals regarding excessive bail or the denial of bail."); McCarver v. State, 257 S.W.3d 512, 515 (Tex. App.-Texarkana 2008, no pet.) (concluding that there is no "direct appeal from interlocutory pretrial orders involving bail").
By letter of March 22, 2023, we directed Appellant to show how we have jurisdiction over this appeal by April 3. Appellant has not filed a response or had any further communication with this Court to date.
Because Appellant has not presented this Court with a judgment or appealable order, we dismiss his appeal for want of jurisdiction.
