IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-15-00043-CR
BRENDA ELAINE PATTERSON,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 220th District Court
Hamilton County, Texas
Trial Court No. CR-07999
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 12, 2015, Appellant Brenda Patterson filed a notice of appeal that
included both Trial Court Cause Nos. CR07998 and CR07999. The appeals were
docketed as Appellate Court Cause Nos. 10-15-00042-CR and 10-15-00043-CR,
respectively. The trial court clerk informed the Court, however, that there is no
appealable order or judgment in the record in Trial Court Cause No. CR07999
(Appellate Court Cause No. 10-15-00043-CR).
In the Clerk of the Court’s February 25, 2015 letter, Patterson was warned that
the Court would dismiss Appellate Court Cause No. 10-15-00043-CR because there is no
appealable order or judgment in the record unless, within fourteen days after the date
of the letter, Patterson showed grounds for continuing the appeal. The letter was sent
to Patterson’s appointed trial counsel, who had filed the notice of appeal. Patterson’s
appellate counsel has now filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction,
acknowledging that no judgment or other appealable order has been rendered in Trial
Court Cause No. CR07999 (Appellate Court Cause No. 10-15-00043-CR).
We therefore grant the motion to dismiss and dismiss this appeal for want of
jurisdiction because there is no appealable order or judgment in the record. See
McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.).
