Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed February 7, 2017. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00515-CR HENRY LEE BETHUNE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 232nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 511361 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an attempted appeal of the trial court’s order denying appellant’s request for appointment of counsel to file an application for writ of habeas corpus. Absent express authority, an intermediate court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders. Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.— Dallas 1998, no pet.). The denial of a motion for appointment of counsel to file an application for writ of habeas corpus is not a separately appealable order. See Kossie v. State, No. 14-15-00131-CR, 2015 WL 1262504, *1 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] Mar. 17, no pet.). Therefore, we have no jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison, and Brown. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
