TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-11-00010-CR


Harold Curtis Biddie, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BASTROP COUNTY, 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 7068, HONORABLE JOHN L. PLACKE, JUDGE PRESIDING


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

In 1988, appellant Harold Curtis Biddie was convicted for aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to ninety-nine years in prison. This conviction was affirmed. Biddie v. State, No. 03-88-00180-CR (Tex. App.--Austin June 28, 1989, no pet.) (not designated for publication). In 2001, Biddie filed a pro se motion for forensic DNA testing. The motion was granted, but the trial court later determined that the test results were not exculpatory. This order was affirmed. In re Biddie, No. 03-02-00633-CR (Tex. App.--Austin May 15, 2003, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). In 2008, Biddie filed another pro se motion for forensic DNA testing, but the motion was denied. This order was affirmed. In re Biddie, No. 03-08-00543-CR (Tex. App.--Austin Dec. 22, 2010, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication).

On January 7, 2011, the Clerk received a pro se notice of appeal signed by Biddie. The notice was filed and docketed under the number shown above. After being notified, the district clerk filed a clerk's record detailing the full history of cause number 7068. Biddie did not request a reporter's record and has not filed a brief.

We find no indication in the clerk's record that any appealable order has been entered since the 2008 order denying DNA testing. In the absence of an appealable order, this Court is without jurisdiction.

The appeal is dismissed.
