IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-13-00437-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. 4717-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Joseph Colvin Lacaze appeals the trial court’s judgment of deferred adjudication
for speeding, 10-14 over the limit. 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.
