IN THE MATTER OF D.L.W., a Juvenile
Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 13, 2012.
On Appeal from the 314th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 2012-01198J & 2012-01197J
MEMORANDUM OPINION
These are attempted appeals from the juvenile court's orders signed August 20, 2012, waiving jurisdiction and transferring the cases to the criminal district court for prosecution of two charges of aggravated robbery. See Tex. Fam. Code § 54.02. While a defendant may appeal such an order, the appeal must be joined with the defendant's appeal of any criminal court conviction or order of deferred adjudication. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 44.47(b); In re B.T., 323 S.W.3d 158, 162 (Tex. 2010) (granting mandamus relief to require transfer hearing be delayed until 17-year-old juvenile's diagnostic study had been completed). Our records contain no judgments of conviction or orders of deferred adjudication. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction over these appeals.
On October 26, 2012, notification was transmitted to all parties of this court's intention to dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction unless any party filed a response within ten days demonstrating our jurisdiction over the appeals. No response was filed.
We order the appeals dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Christopher, and Jamison.
