MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 1, 2013, we notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not
apparent from the notice of appeal and the appeal would be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the
appeal. No response has been filed.
The notice of appeal seeks to appeal the denial of a motion to quash the
indictment. The order is not appealable prior to conviction. See Apolinar v. State,
820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Ahmad v. State, 158 S.W.3d 525
1
(Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2004, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
