                         COURT OF APPEALS

               THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                  CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                             Appellant,

                                           v.

DOUGLAS C. WRIGHT

A/K/A C. DOUGLAS WRIGHT                                      Appellee.

             On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3

                           of Cameron County, Texas

           CONCURRING MEMORANDUM OPINION

                       Before Justices Yañez, Castillo, and Garza

                Concurring Memorandum Opinion by Justice Castillo

Respectfully, I agree with the majority that the State has not shown that its appeal is authorized under the plain language of article 44.01. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art 44.01 (Vernon Supp. 2004-05). Because it is error to focus on the merits of a State's appeal in determining whether it is statutorily authorized, I concur with the decision to dismiss.  See State v. Gutierrez, 129 S.W.3d 113, 115 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).  However, because my review is limited to the jurisdictional question, I express no opinion on the reviewability of an acquittal. 

ERRLINDA CASTILLO

Justice
