MARCO DEWONE MCCAIN APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM THE 431ST DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. F16-800-431 MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant Marco Dewone McCain attempts to appeal from an "Order Denying Appointment of an Investigator" signed on March 7, 2017. On March 31, 2017, we sent a letter to McCain expressing our concern that we may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because the trial court had not entered any appealable orders and because we generally have jurisdiction to consider an appeal in a criminal case only from a judgment of conviction. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). We informed McCain that unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by April 10, 2017, we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). We did not receive any response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
