In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-18-00455-CR No. 02-18-00456-CR ___________________________ QUINLON DAJUAN JENKINS, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal from the 89th District Court Wichita County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 56039-C, 55833-C Before Gabriel, Kerr, and Pittman, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Gabriel MEMORANDUM OPINION Pro se appellant Quinlon Dajuan Jenkins attempts to appeal the trial court’s orders denying his Motion for Indigency and his Motion for Discovery and Deposition. On October 23, 2018, we sent Jenkins a letter expressing our concern that we lack jurisdiction over his appeals because the trial court had not entered any appealable orders and had not signed a judgment of conviction. We instructed him that unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeals, we could dismiss them. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Jenkins responded to our request, but his responses do not show grounds for continuing the appeals. In a criminal case, we generally have jurisdiction only when the trial court has signed a judgment of conviction. McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.— Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). “We do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless that jurisdiction has been expressly granted to us by law.” Id. Neither of the rulings of which Jenkins complains is a final judgment of conviction or an appealable interlocutory order. Therefore, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161. /s/ Lee Gabriel Lee Gabriel Justice Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) Delivered: November 21, 2018 2
