Ex Parte Andreas Jensen

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-19-00430-CR
No. 10-19-00431-CR
EX PARTE ANDREAS JENSEN
From the 272nd District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 11-00928-CRF-272;
11-00843-CRM-272
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The State attempts to appeal the trial court’s decision to grant Andreas Jensen’s
petition for writ of habeas corpus in these proceedings. Because the “order” complained
of is an unsigned docket entry, there is no final order to be appealed. See State v.
Rosenbaum, 818 S.W.2d 398, 403 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (“the appellate timetable for the
State under Art. 44.01(d) begins running from the date the trial judge signs his or her
order….”); see also Stark v. Miller, 63 Tex. 164 (1885) (entries made by a trial judge on his
docket form no part of the record).
Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction without
prejudice to the State filing new notices of appeal when a written order is signed.
