Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 31, 2023 In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-23-00459-CR ELENDER LOUISA ARMOUR, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 339th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1584279 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an attempted appeal of the trial court’s “decision to send this case to another associate judge in ERD5, and not the referring court, the 339th District Court.” Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been a final judgment of conviction. Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). The trial court’s decision in this matter is not a separately appealable order. Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the general rule that appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, we have no jurisdiction. On August 2, 2023, we notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant demonstrated, within 21 days, that the court has jurisdiction. No response was filed. We dismiss the appeal. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Hassan, and Wilson. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
