JAMIE ALBERTO IBARRA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed January 17, 2013.
On Appeal from the 174th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1287084 and 1287085
MEMORANDUM OPINION
These attempted appeals are from the denial of motions to recuse. Procedures for recusal and disqualification found in the civil rules are applicable to criminal cases. Arnold v. State, 853 S.W.2d 543, 544 (Tex. Crim. App.1993); and Soderman v. State, 915 S.W.2d 605, (Tex. App. -- Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, pet. ref'd). An order denying a motion to recuse may be reviewed only for abuse of discretion on appeal from the final conviction. See Moorhead v. State, 972 S.W.2d 93, 94 -95 (Tex. App. -- Texarkana 1998, no pet.); Tex. R. Civ. P. 18a(j)(1)(A).
Accordingly, the appeals are ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Frost, Brown, and Busby. Do Not Publish - Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
