NO. 12-03-00199-CR
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
DINARIO JONES,§ APPEAL FROM THE 7TH
APPELLANT
V.§ JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE§ SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant filed an appeal of the trial court's order denying his motion for a free copy of the record in order to prepare a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Appellant's conviction was affirmed by this court on August 14, 2002 in Cause No. 12-01-00196-CR. Appellant filed a petition for discretionary review on November 14, 2002, which was refused on January 22, 2003. Our mandate issued on March 14, 2003.
The order Appellant seeks to appeal is interlocutory. We do not have jurisdiction over interlocutory orders unless jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law. See Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We find no statute or other law authorizing this court to address an appeal of an order denying a free copy of a record after a conviction has been affirmed. Therefore, this court is without jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Opinion delivered June 30, 2003.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., and Griffith, J.
