James Williams v. State ( 2020 )

Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed October 13, 2020.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-20-00554-CR
JAMES WILLIAMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 178th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1603851
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court dismissed the underlying case on the State’s motion. Appellant
filed a notice of appeal from the dismissal.
Generally, appeals in criminal cases may only be taken from final judgments
of convictions. Workman v. State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961);
McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). No
exception to the general rule allows an appeal from an order dismissing the case.
On September 1, 2020, we notified the parties of the court’s intention to
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction unless any party showed, within 21 days
of the letter, that the court has jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). No response
has been filed.
The appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Zimmerer.
