                                                         In The

                                                Court of Appeals

                        Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

                                                ______________________________

                                                             No. 06-10-00046-CR

                                                ______________________________

                              CALVIN WAYNE BURNHAM, Appellant

                                                                V.

                                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                       On Appeal from the 123rd Judicial District Court

                                                             Panola County, Texas

                                                       Trial Court No. 2009-C-0023

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Calvin Wayne Burnham filed a notice of appeal March 22, 2010, in trial court cause number 2009-C-0023.  We have contacted the district clerk, and no trial court judgment has been entered for that cause number against Burnham.   

            A timely notice of appeal from a conviction or an appealable order is necessary to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction.  Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  This Court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly granted by law.  Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.).

            Since there is no appealable order or judgment, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                                    Josh R. Morriss, III

                                                                                    Chief Justice
