Appeal dismissed
Opinion delivered and filed March 16, 2005
[CV06]
. 27.1(b). According to Rule 27.1(b), a premature notice of appeal takes effect in a criminal case “on the same day, but after, . . . the appealable order is signed by the trial court.” Id. We are willing to wait a reasonable time for the trial court to sign an order adjudicating the merits of McIntosh’s motion for DNA testing. See Cravin v. State, No. 01-01-1166-CR, 2002 Tex. App. LEXIS 8494, at *3 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Nov. 27, 2002, no pet. h.) (written order required for post-conviction DNA appeal). But, if a supplemental record containing such an order is not filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on December 27, 2002, we will dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Cook v. Lernout & Hauspie Med. Servs. Div., 68 S.W.3d 285, 286 (Tex. App.—Waco, order), disp. on merits, 76 S.W.3d 203 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.).
