RONALD DARNELL CEPHUS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 232nd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 998670 and 1009435

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was indicted for robbery in cause numbers 998670 and 1009435. The indictment in cause number 998670 was dismissed in 2004, and appellant pleaded guilty to robbery in cause number 1009435 in 2005.

On February 28, 2017, the trial court denied appellant's motions for an "order to the clerk for production and inspection of grand jury transcripts" in each cause. Appellant filed notices of appeal from those denials on March 14, 2017.

Generally, appeals in criminal cases may only be taken from final judgments of convictions. Workman v. State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 ((Tex. Crim. App. 1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). No exception to the general rule allows an appeal from an order denying a post-conviction request for grand jury transcripts.

Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Busby, and Jewell.
