    ___________
    DANIEL RAY GARCIA, Appellant
    V.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
    On Appeal from the 106th District Court
    Gaines County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause No. 19-5086
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Daniel Ray Garcia has filed a pro se notice of appeal from an order denying
    his motion to recuse Judge Reed A. Filley, the judge of the trial court. In the notice
    of appeal, which Appellant called a “petition for discretionary review,” Appellant
    requests that this court review the recusal rulings made by Judge John L. Pool. We
    dismiss the appeal.
    When this appeal was filed, the clerk of this court wrote to Appellant and
    informed him that it did not appear that this court had jurisdiction in this matter. We
    requested that Appellant respond and show grounds to continue the appeal. We have
    not received any response from Appellant.
    An order denying a motion to recuse is not a final, appealable order; it may be
    reviewed only in an appeal from a final judgment. Green v. State, 
    374 S.W.3d 434
    ,
    445 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). An appeal of the decision to deny a motion to recuse,
    standing alone, would be improper. 
    Id.
     Because Appellant has attempted to appeal
    from an order denying a motion to recuse, standing alone, we have no jurisdiction to
    entertain this appeal.
    Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
