In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-21-00117-CR ___________________________ KEVIN DUANE TALKINGTON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal from the 213th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 1269829D Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Walker, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Walker MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Kevin Duane Talkington attempts to appeal from the trial court’s order denying his motion for the appointment of counsel to assist him in obtaining postconviction, forensic DNA testing. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 64.01(c). We notified Talkington of our belief that we do not have jurisdiction over his appeal because such an order is not immediately appealable and gave him an opportunity to respond showing grounds to continue his appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3; Gutierrez v. State, 307 S.W.3d 318, 323 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010); see also Whitfield v. State, 430 S.W.3d 405, 408 n.11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Although we granted Talkington an extension to respond, he has failed to do so. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Gutierrez, 307 S.W.3d at 323. /s/ Brian Walker Brian Walker Justice Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) Delivered: November 24, 2021 2
