DISMISS; and Opinion Filed September 4, 2018. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00842-CR RICKY ALLEN DYISE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F16-54228-M MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Francis, and Lang-Miers Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers Ricky Allen Dyise appeals his conviction for retaliation. On October 24, 2016, a jury found him guilty after which the trial court assessed punishment at ten years in prison, probated for six years, and a $1000 fine. This Court affirmed his conviction on direct appeal. Dyise v. State, No. 05-16-01408-CR, 2017 WL 6164574, at *3 (Tex. App.—Dallas Dec. 2017, pet. ref’d). The Court now has before it appellant’s July 24, 2018 “Notice of Appeal.” Appellant does not reference any new appealable order but asks to appeal his 2016 conviction. An appellate court has jurisdiction to determine an appeal only if the appeal is authorized by law. Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696–97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). When the appellate court’s jurisdiction is not legally invoked, the court’s power to act is as absent as if it did not exist. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Appellate courts may consider criminal appeals only after final conviction or the entry of a narrow set of appealable interlocutory orders. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.). Here, appellant seeks to appeal his original 2016 conviction. Because we have already considered his direct appeal and there are no new appealable orders, we conclude we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. /Elizabeth Lang-Miers/ ELIZABETH LANG-MIERS JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
