EDWARD CHARLES HOLLAND, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 89821, 91160, 91297,

92581, 92582, and 92583




MEMORANDUM OPINION

On September 28, 2006, we informed the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of appeal, and notified them that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant's response does not establish our jurisdiction.

The notices of appeal seek to appeal the "State's failure to dismiss causes and denial of speedy trial," but according to the trial court clerk the appellant has not been convicted or sentenced in cause nos. 89821, 91160, 91297, 92581, 92582, and 92583. The issue raised by appellant is not appealable at this time. See Smith v. Gohmert, 962 S.W.2d 590, 592-93 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
