Juan SOSA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017CR0069
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
After the trial court signed an order dismissing the indictment in this case, Juan Sosa filed a notice of appeal. "Generally, this Court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal where there has been a judgment of conviction, and an appeal does not lie from the granting or refusing of an interlocutory or preliminary order." Petty v. State, 800 S.W.2d 582, 583 (Tex. App.—Tyler 1990, no pet.). "[A]n order dismissing an indictment is not an order from which [an] appellant can appeal." Id. On March 29, 2017, we ordered Sosa to file a response by May 1, 2017, showing why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Sosa has not filed a response. Because we conclude we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id.
