The State of Texas, Appellee








FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF TRAVIS COUNTY

NOS. 646,146 & 646,148, HONORABLE J. DAVID PHILLIPS, JUDGE PRESIDING


M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N




The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal in cause number 03-03-00669-CR (local cause number 646,146) for want of jurisdiction because the fine assessed does not exceed $100. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 30.00027(a) (West Supp. 2004). Appellant did not respond to the motion even after being asked to do so by this Court. The motion is granted and the appeal in cause number 03-03-00669-CR is dismissed.

In cause number 03-03-00670-CR (local cause number 646,148), the State has filed a motion asking this Court to reconsider its order granting appellant's motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal, to deny the motion for failing to state adequate grounds, and to dismiss the appeal for failing to give timely notice. The State's motion to dismiss cause number 03-03-00670-CR is denied.

The State has also filed a motion to proceed without further briefing. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 30.00027(b)(1). Appellant did not respond to the motion. The motion is granted and cause number 03-03-00670-CR will be submitted for decision on the briefs filed by the parties in the county court at law.
