CHRISTOPHER LEE CAUDILL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do Not Publish Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b)
On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 416-82928-2023
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Reichek, and Justice Goldstein
MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE
In this case, appellant was charged by indictment with sexual assault. On March 22, 2024, the trial court granted a motion to dismiss. In this case, the record does not show that a judgment of conviction or other appealable order was signed or that sentence was imposed against appellant.
An order granting a motion to dismiss is not an appealable order by the defendant. See Perez v. State, No. 04-22-00664-CR, 2023 WL 2297444, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Mar. 1, 2023, no pet.) (mem op.) (per curiam). We asked the parties to file briefs addressing this Court's jurisdiction. Appellant's counsel filed a brief stating, "Counsel is aware of no authority that would give the Court of Appeals jurisdiction over a case that was dismissed."
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Appellant's appeal in cause number 05-24-00414-CR remains pending before this Court.
JUDGMENT
Based on the Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
