    THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

    On Appeal from the 359th District Court
    Montgomery County, Texas
    Trial Cause No. 21-05-07184-CR
    __________________________________________________________________
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    In a criminal case, Kathryn Ziehl Broadway filed a “Public and Judicial Notice
    of Interlocutory Appeal Pursuant to 28 USCS § 1333 in the United States District
    Court by Savings to Suitor Claiming Lawful Right to Common Law Venue –
    Demanding Proof of Jurisdiction in the Record.” We questioned our jurisdiction. In
    response, the State informs the Court that Broadway has not been convicted. In her
    response, without citing authority for an interlocutory appeal Broadway argues an
    1
    appeal is necessary because after being challenged the trial court has failed to
    establish proof of jurisdiction.
    In criminal cases, “[t]he standard for determining jurisdiction is not whether
    the appeal is precluded by law, but whether the appeal is authorized by law.” Abbott
    v. State, 
    271 S.W.3d 694
    , 696-97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). The general right to appeal
    under article 44.02 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure is limited to appeal
    from a final judgment. 
    Id.
     at 697 n.8; see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02.
    Broadway identifies no other state statute that authorizes an appeal at this time. We
    dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
    APPEAL DISMISSED.
