Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed September 9, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-10-00563-CR LUCAS COE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 232nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1227878 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an attempted appeal of an order quashing a subpoena. Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been a final judgment of conviction. Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). The exceptions include: (1) certain appeals while on deferred adjudication community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond, TEX. R. APP. P. 31.1; McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161; and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus relief. Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App. Dallas 1998, no pet.); McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161. An order quashing a subpoena is not a separately appealable order. Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the general rule that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, we have no jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Brown. Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
