MEMORANDUM OPINION


Luther Garner, appellant, appeals from the trial court's order denying his request for access to the record after conviction. Unless specifically authorized by statute, an appellate court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant only from a final judgment of conviction. See Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); Benford v. State, 994 S.W.2d 404, 409 (Tex.App.-Waco 1999, no pet.); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). Garner has not demonstrated that the denial of his post-conviction motion requesting access to the record is a separately appealable order. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to review the ruling on Garner's motion. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal and deny all pending motions. APPEAL DISMISSED.
