STEPHANIE ANN RICHARDSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS
On Appeal from Criminal District Court No. 4
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 1582053, 1612397
Before Bassel, Womack, and Wallach, JJ.
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Stephanie Richardson, who has appointed counsel but filed a pro se
notice of appeal, attempts to appeal from the trial court’s “Order For Competency
Examination.” We informed Richardson by letter that it appeared that she was not
attempting to appeal from a final judgment or from an otherwise appealable order and
notified her that we would dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction unless she
showed grounds for continuing them. Richardson did not file a response.
In a criminal case, we generally have jurisdiction only when the trial court has
signed a judgment of conviction. McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—
Fort Worth 1996, no pet.) (per curiam). “We do not have jurisdiction to review
interlocutory orders unless that jurisdiction has been expressly granted to us by law.”
Id. The order about which Richardson complains is not a final judgment of
conviction or an appealable interlocutory order. See, e.g., Morales v. State, 830 S.W.2d
139, 140 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992). Therefore, we dismiss these appeals for want of
jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Boots v. State, Nos. 02-19-00315-CR, 02-19-
00316-CR, 2019 WL 5251152, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Oct. 17, 2019, no pet.)
(mem. op., not designated for publication); McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161.
