On Appeal from the County Court at Law Collin County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 001-84863-08.

Before Justices FITZGERALD, LANG, and FILLMORE.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


A jury convicted Feysal Ayati-Ghaffari for an expired inspection sticker, and the trial court assessed a ninety-nine-dollar fine. Appellant appealed to the County Court at Law, where he was again found guilty in a trial before the court. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). However, because the fine imposed in this case is only ninety-nine dollars, our jurisdiction extends only to challenges to the constitutionality of the statute involved that were made and preserved in the trial court. Because appellant made no such challenges, we do not have jurisdiction over the appeal. See Karenev v. State, 281 S.W.3d 428, 434 (Tex.Crim.App. 2009). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
