Opinion

No. 02-01-436-CR

July 29, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

Appeal from County Criminal Court No. 5 of Denton County.

Linda Sue Brinkley, Whitewright, TX, pro se. Bruce Isaacks, Criminal District Attorney and Kathleen Walsh, Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Denton, TX, for state.

Panel D: LIVINGSTON, DAUPHINOT, and HOLMAN, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

See Tex.R.App.P. 47.4.


Appellant Linda Sue Brinkley attempts to appeal her conviction for disorderly conduct. The trial court assessed as punishment a $100 fine, plus court costs, in accordance with the jury's determination. On May 4, 2004, the State filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. On June 16, 2004, we sent appellant a letter indicating our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over this case because the fine imposed by the county court did not exceed $100 and appellant's brief does not raise as its sole issue the constitutionality of the statute upon which her conviction is based. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 4.03 (Vernon Supp. 2004). We further informed appellant that if she did not file, on or before June 28, 2004, a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a). Appellant did not file a response to our letter. Accordingly, we grant the State's motion and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 4.03; Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
