Opinion issued August 30, 2022 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-21-00040-CR NO. 01-21-00041-CR ——————————— ANDREW PRESTON SHANNON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 240h District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Case Nos. 17-DCR-079922 & 18-DCR-084489A MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Andrew Preston Shannon, proceeding pro se, filed two notices of appeal in trial court case numbers 17-DCR-079922 and 18-DCR-084489A. The notices of appeal do not identify or reference a final judgment or other appealable order that has been entered in either case number against Shannon. The trial court clerk further informed the Court that there is no appealable order or judgment in the underlying trial court cases. The right to appeal in criminal cases is conferred by statute, and a defendant may only appeal from a judgment of conviction or an interlocutory order as authorized by statute. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 44.02; TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2); Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). A timely notice of appeal from a conviction or an appealable order is necessary to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Because the record contains no appealable order or judgment, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). We dismiss any pending motions as moot. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Rivas-Molloy, and Guerra. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
