Melvyn L. Askew v. State ( 2005 )

NO. 07-05-0181-CR
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT AMARILLO
PANEL D
MAY 23, 2005
______________________________
MELVYN L. ASKEW,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
_________________________________
FROM THE 364TH DISTRICT COURT OF LUBBOCK COUNTY;
NO. 2004-407,193; HON. BRADLEY S. UNDERWOOD, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.
Melvin L. Askew (appellant) appeals the denial of his motion to suppress. We
dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
The record fails to reflect that 1) a final judgment has been entered in this cause, or
2) sentence has been pronounced in open court. Indeed, according to the docketing
statement executed by appellant, he disclosed that the appeal is interlocutory. Simply put,
we do not have jurisdiction over an interlocutory order denying a motion to suppress
evidence. McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.–Fort Worth 1996, no pet.).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Chief Justice
