Reynaldo Solis GONZALEZ, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011CR10915
Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
Appellant's notice of appeal stated he was appealing from his conviction in trial court cause number 2011CR10915. The clerk's record does not contain a judgment of conviction against appellant in cause number 2011CR10915. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2. The clerk's record contains an order dismissing cause number 2011CR10915. We therefore ordered appellant to file, on or before June 11, 2012, a response showing why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We informed appellant that if he failed to satisfactorily respond within the time provided, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Appellant did not file a response or file a supplemental clerk's record.
As a general rule, an appellate court may consider appeals by criminal defendants only after conviction. See Ex parte Shumake, 953 S.W.2d 842, 844 (Tex. App.—Austin 1997, no pet.). There are narrow exceptions to this general rule; however, an order of dismissal is not an appealable order. Petty v. State, 800 S.W.2d 582, 583 (Tex App.—Tyler 1990, no pet.).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. Id.
