IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-13-00438-CR
JOSEPH COLVIN LACAZE,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 1
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 4718-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Joseph Colvin Lacaze appeals his conviction for driving while license invalid. By
letter dated December 18, 2013, the Clerk of this Court notified Lacaze that the appeal
was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because the judgment underlying this
appeal is a County Court at Law judgment in a trial de novo appeal from an inferior
court and the County Court at Law judgment does not impose a fine or affirm a fine in
excess of $100. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 4.03. By the same letter, the Clerk
also warned Lacaze that the Court would dismiss the appeal unless, within 7 days from
the date of the letter, a response was filed explaining why the Court has jurisdiction of
this appeal. Lacaze filed a response, but it does not show that the Court has jurisdiction
of this appeal.
This appeal is dismissed. 1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3.
