EX PARTE KEVIN OWENS,
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-CR-1906 Honorable Stephanie R. Boyd, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
On June 18, 2021, Appellant filed a pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court. His application argued that the stalking charges against him are unconstitutional. His notice of appeal refers to the trial court's "denial of Writ of Habeas Corpus."
The clerk's record does not contain a signed, appealable order. But see State v. Wachtendorf, 475 S.W.3d 895, 904 (Tex. Crim. App. 2015) ("[T]he trial court's oral pronouncements on the record do not constitute appealable orders."). Furthermore, a trial court must certify a defendant's right to appeal if he has the right to appeal, which has not occurred in this case. Contra Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
If Appellant does not show cause in writing as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
