Anthony McVea v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-19-00441-CR
Anthony McVEA,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019CR5436
Honorable Ray Olivarri, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 31, 2019
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
On June 28, 2019, Appellant Anthony McVea filed a pro se notice of appeal. The notice
of appeal does not indicate the date on which the trial court rendered a final judgment.
The clerk’s record shows Appellant has been indicted, but it does not include a final order
or judgment or give any indication that a hearing on a dispositive motion or a trial was held. The
clerk’s record does not contain an appealable judgment or order. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.
ANN. art. 44.02 (authorizing a defendant in a criminal action to appeal); Abbott v. State, 271
04-19-00441-CR
S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (reiterating that the right to appeal under article 44.02 is
limited to appeal from a final judgment).
On July 8, 2019, we ordered Appellant to show cause in writing by July 23, 2019, why this
appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We cautioned Appellant that if he failed
to show cause in writing as ordered, this appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See
Abbott, 271 S.W.3d at 697 n.8.
The clerk’s record does not contain an appealable judgment or order, and Appellant did not
file any response to show how this court has jurisdiction in this appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss
this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
