NO. 12-09-00169-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS MICHAEL BAKER, APPELLANT § APPEAL FROM THE 114TH V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Appellant Michael Baker purports to appeal from a property disposition order entered in trial court cause number 114-2864-06. As a general rule, an appeal in a criminal case may be taken only from a judgment of conviction. See Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 622, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App.1961). However, there are certain narrow exceptions. Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App. Dallas 1998, no pet.) (listing exceptions). The order Appellant complains of is not a judgment of conviction nor does it fall within any exception to the general rule. Therefore, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal. On June 9, 2009, this court notified Appellant that the information received in this appeal does not include a final judgment or other appealable order and therefore does not show the jurisdiction of this court. See TEX . R. APP. P. 37.2. Appellant was further notified that the appeal would be dismissed unless the information was amended on or before July 9, 2009 to show the jurisdiction of this court. See TEX . R. APP. P. 44.3. This deadline has now passed, and Appellant has neither shown the jurisdiction of this court or otherwise responded to its June 9, 2009 notice. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX . R. APP. P. 42.3(a). Opinion delivered July 24, 2009. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
