IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-14-00067-CR
TERRY LEE NELSON,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 13th District Court
Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. 32,660-CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant appears to have been convicted of sexual assault in the 13th Judicial District
Court of Navarro County. Apparently to obtain the record for purposes of a post-conviction writ
of habeas corpus proceeding, Appellant filed a “motion for trial record & prosecution discovery
file.” The trial court denied that motion, and Appellant appeals that denial.
This court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly
granted by law. Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no
pet.). No statute vests this court with jurisdiction over an appeal from an order
denying a request for a free copy of the trial record when such a request is not
presented in conjunction with a timely filed direct appeal. Id.; see Self v. State,
122 S.W.3d 294, 294-95 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2003, no pet.).
Clegg v. State, 214 S.W.3d 671 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, no pet.).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction, and all pending motions are
dismissed as moot.
