TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-16-00186-CV Johnathan Johnson, Appellant v. Hays County District Attorney’s Office, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF HAYS COUNTY NOS. 15-0990-CR, 15-0991-CR & 16-0993-CR HONORABLE DAVID GLICKLER, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Johnathan Johnson filed this attempted appeal of the trial court’s March 3, 2016 order appointing an expert to examine him for competency in the underlying criminal prosecutions. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. arts. 46B.005(a) (authorizing court to order examination to determine whether defendant is incompetent to stand trial in criminal case); 46B.021 (allowing for appointment of experts to conduct defendant’s competency examination).1 However, that order relates to the court’s determination or ruling under article 46B.005, and we lack jurisdiction to review it. See id. art. 46B.011 (providing that neither State nor defendant is entitled to interlocutory appeal “relating to determination or ruling under Article 46B.005”); Queen v. State, 212 S.W.3d 619, 620-21 (Tex. App.—Austin 2006, no pet.) 1 Johnson filed a notice of appeal and then clarified the trial court’s cause numbers in an amended notice of appeal. (recognizing unavailability of interlocutory appeal from trial court’s determination under article 46B.005). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f). Jeff Rose, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Bourland Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: May 20, 2016 2
