MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an attempted appeal from trial court cause number 1483109 in which the State charged appellant with intentionally and knowingly causing bodily injury. The record reflects on January 10, 2008, the trial court dismissed the cause. Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant when there has been a final judgment of conviction. Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex.App.CFort Worth 1996, no pet.). The exceptions include: (1) certain appeals while on deferred adjudication community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625 (Tex.Crim.App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond, TEX. R. APP. P. 31.1; McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161; and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus relief, Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex.App.CDallas 1998, no pet.); McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161. Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the general rule that appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, this court has no jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
