THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6 Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 006-80751-2012 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang-Miers, Murphy, and Fillmore Opinion by Justice Fillmore Janine Joyce Charboneau is charged with the misdemeanor offense of cruelty to animals. On January 9, 2013, the trial court denied appellant s motion to reopen and reconsideration of defendant s the [sici motion to suppress and motion to quash the complaint and motion to dismiss. On January 28, 2013, appellant, who is representing herself, filed a notice of interlocutory appeal and notice of writ of mandamus. We conclude we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. The right to appeal in a criminal case is a statutorily created right. See McKinnev v. State, 207 S.W.3d 366, 374 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Griffin v. State, 145 S.W.3d 645, 646 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004). See also TEx. CODE CRIM. P. 44.02 (West 2006) (providing right of appeal for defendant); TEx. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2) (rules for appeal by defendant). As a general rule, appellate courts may consider aiak h criminal defendants only alter conviction. Wright . State. 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App. Dallas 1998. no pet.). Intermediate appellate courts have no jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders absent express authority. Ev park Apolmar. 820 S.W2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim, App. 1991); Wright, 969 S.W2d at 598. Orders denying pretrial motions to suppress. quash a complaint, and dismiss are not appealable interlocutory orders. See Wright, 969 S.W.2d at 598 (identifying types of appealable interlocutory orders). Therel ore, we have no jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. ROBERT M. FILLMORE JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEx. R. App. P. 47 I 30203F.U05 We decline to treat the document as a petition for writ of mandamus because it does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52, See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.
