ROLANDO MORIN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 182nd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1451966

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement with the State, appellant was convicted on March 13, 2015, and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment. On January 31, 2020, he filed a motion in the trial court for judgment nunc pro tunc. The record reflects that the trial court has acknowledged the filing of the motion but has not ruled on it and has not signed a judgment nunc pro tunc. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.

The record does not contain an appealable order. Generally, appeals in criminal cases may only be taken from final judgments of convictions. Workman v. State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). We know of no exception to the general rule that allows an appeal under these circumstances.

On April 14, 2020, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court's intention to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction unless any party showed, within 21 days of the letter, that the court has jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). No response has been filed.

The appeal is dismissed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Hassan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
