In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-18-00396-CR No. 02-18-00397-CR No. 02-18-00398-CR ___________________________ DERRICK RESHORD WALTON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal from the 431st District Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court Nos. F17-2958-431, F17-2959-431, F17-2960-431 Before Birdwell, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Gabriel, J. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION Derrick Reshord Walton filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s verbal denial of his attempts to reduce bail in three pending cases.1 Although we informed appellant that we had not received a written order from the trial court––a prerequisite to appealability––the trial court has not signed one. See State v. Wachtendorf, 475 S.W.3d 895, 904 (Tex. Crim. App. 2015). Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction. Per Curiam Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) Delivered: December 6, 2018 Appellant filed both a motion to reduce bail and an application for habeas relief in which he complained that his bail was excessive. See Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (holding that appellate courts do not have jurisdiction of appeal from denial of pretrial motion to reduce bail, only the denial of an application for writ of habeas corpus seeking a bail reduction). 1 2
