IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-13-00441-CR
BRANDI BLACK DOWELL,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 1
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 4723-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Brandi Black Dowell appeals the trial court’s judgment of deferred adjudication
for expired registration (motor vehicle). By letter dated December 18, 2013, the Clerk of
this Court notified Dowell 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 Dowell 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. Dowell 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.
