Jacques Montrey DURHAM, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015CR3667A
Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On January 16, 2016, Appellant filed a motion to quash the indictment. The State filed a motion to amend the indictment, and after a hearing, the trial court granted the State's motion on February 29, 2016. On March 23, 2016, Appellant filed a notice of appeal challenging the trial court's February 29, 2016 order that allegedly denied Appellant's motion to quash the indictment.
The clerk's record does not appear to contain an appealable order or judgment. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 44.02 (West 2006) (authorizing a defendant in a criminal action to appeal); Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (reiterating that the right to appeal under article 44.02 is limited to appeal from a final judgment).
We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing not later than TWENTY DAYS from the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Abbott, 271 S.W.3d at 697 n.8.
