Opinion

No. 05-06-00540-CR

Opinion issued June 26, 2006. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.

On Appeal from the County Criminal Court No. 4, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. MA04-58367-E. Dismissed.

Before Justices WHITTINGTON, BRIDGES, and RICHTER.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


After being charged by information with driving while intoxicated, second offense, Christopher Faz filed a pretrial motion to suppress the evidence. Following a hearing, the trial judge denied the motion by written order. Appellant filed a notice of appeal from the order denying the motion to suppress. Courts of appeals have jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals only where expressly granted by law. See Ex parte Apolinar, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991). The denial of a pretrial motion to suppress is not an appealable pretrial order. See McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1996, no pet.) (per curiam). Therefore, we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
