IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-09-00217-CR
JAMES RILEY LEMONS,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 278th District Court
Walker County, Texas
Trial Court No. 24,661
MEMORANDUM OPINION
James R. Lemons has filed a pro se notice of appeal complaining of various
pretrial rulings by the trial court.
In a July 21, 2009 letter, we notified Lemons that this cause was subject to
dismissal for want of jurisdiction because it appeared that this Court does not have
jurisdiction of his appeal of the trial court’s interlocutory rulings. See Everett v. State, 91
S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.) (stating that this court has jurisdiction
over criminal appeals only when expressly granted by law). We warned Lemons that
we would dismiss this appeal unless, within 21 days, he showed grounds for
continuing it. Lemons has filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing
this appeal or that we have jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want
of jurisdiction.
