Opinion filed February 14, 2014 In The Eleventh Court of Appeals ___________ No. 11-14-00022-CR ___________ BRUCE DOUGLAS WILSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 90th District Court Stephens County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 29,363 MEMORANDUM OPINION Bruce Douglas Wilson has filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court s denial of Wilson s motion for time cut. We dismiss the appeal. The clerk of this court wrote Wilson on January 23, 2014, and informed him that the order from which he was attempting to appeal did not appear to be an appealable order. We requested that Wilson respond on or before February 7, 2014, and show grounds to continue the appeal. Wilson has filed a response, but he has not shown grounds upon which this appeal may continue. An appellate court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant from a final judgment of conviction or as otherwise authorized by law. Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696 97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). We can find no authority that would permit this court to exercise jurisdiction in an appeal from a postconviction order denying a request for a time cut. See id. (holding that court of appeals had no jurisdiction in appeal from trial court s postjudgment order denying time-credit motion). Consequently, we have no jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM February 14, 2014 Do not publish. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Panel consists of: Wright, C.J., Willson, J., and Bailey, J. 2
