TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-16-00500-CV Johnathan Johnson, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE PROBATE COURT NO. 1 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. C-1-MH-16-001111, HONORABLE GUY S. HERMAN, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Johnathan Johnson filed this pro se appeal challenging the trial court’s June 29, 2016 rulings in the underlying mental-health proceeding, including an order authorizing the administration of psychoactive medication.1 However, the record reflects that Johnson’s appointed counsel filed a motion for new trial that the trial court granted, and that on the same day, the State filed a motion to dismiss the Application for Temporary Mental Health Services,2 which the trial court also granted. Because Johnson has appointed counsel, we will only consider future filings from his counsel with regard to his mental-health proceedings. 1 As best we can discern, Johnson complains of a “medication order” that he wants to stay and the denial of a trial. 2 The motion to dismiss stated that Johnson had been found incompetent and not likely to regain competence. There is no final and appealable judgment or order over which we may exercise jurisdiction. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). __________________________________________ Jeff Rose, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Bourland Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: August 5, 2016 2
