DISMISS;
On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F05-58514-Q
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Bridges and Myers
Opinion By Chief Justice Wright
Tommy James Miller filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying his “motion to obtain records and hearings.” Appellate courts have jurisdiction over appeals by criminal defendants only after conviction or from certain statutorily designated appealable orders. See Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589-90 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.). The Court has found no authority providing the right to appeal an order denying a motion to obtain records. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
