Christopher Timmy Brady v. State ( 2020 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-20-00149-CR
Christopher Timmy BRADY,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 556329
Honorable Kevin M. O’Connell, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 29, 2020
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISIDICTION
On March 4, 2020, appellant filed both a Notice of Appeal and a Notice of Appeal from
Negotiated Plea. In general, we have jurisdiction to consider an appeal in a criminal case only
where there has been a final judgment of conviction. Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1991); Sanchez v. State, 340 S.W.3d 848, 849 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, no pet.).
“The courts of appeals do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless that
jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law.” Apolinar, 820 S.W.2d at 794. Additionally, we
04-20-00149-CR
must dismiss a criminal appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal
has not been made part of the record[.]” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2.
Here, the clerk’s record does not contain a judgment of conviction or other appealable order
or a certification of defendant’s right of appeal. On March 13, 2020, we ordered appellant to file a
response showing cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction by April
13, 2020. Appellant did not respond to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of
jurisdiction.
