THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant Appellee From the 12th District Court Madison County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 18-13138 and 18-13140 MEMORANDUM OPINION In each of these two causes, Appellant Joseph Demetrius Farris attempts to appeal from the trial court’s order dismissing charges against him. An order dismissing charges is not an order a defendant may appeal. Bohannan v. State, 352 S.W.3d 47, 48 (Tex. App.— Fort Worth 2011, pet. ref’d); see also Crider v. State, No. 04-19-00512-CR, 2019 WL 4647705, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Sept. 25, 2019, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Accordingly, we dismiss each of these appeals for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f); Bohannan, 352 S.W.3d at 48. Notwithstanding that we are dismissing these appeals, Farris may file a motion for rehearing with this Court within fifteen days after the judgment of this Court is rendered. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. If Farris desires to have the decision of this Court reviewed by filing a petition for discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals within thirty days after either the day this Court’s judgment is rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court.
