MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00069-CR
David Cepeda JONES,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
Trial Court No. CM002974
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 9, 2011
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant’s notice of appeal states his intention to appeal; however, the notice of appeal
further notes that he was not sentenced or convicted in the underlying cause. The notice of
appeal further notes that the case was rejected. The trial court clerk’s Certificate of Notice of
Appeal also states, “case closed since 07-01-2005 rejected further investigation.”
Absent a few statutory exceptions that are inapplicable to this appeal, a criminal
defendant may only appeal from a final judgment of conviction. See State v. Sellers, 790 S.W.2d
04-11-00069-CR
316, 321 n. 4 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990); Ahmad v. State, 158 S.W.3d 525, 526 (Tex. App.—Fort
Worth 2004, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
