BICHNGA NGUYEN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 4 Harris County, Texas Cause No. 5587 Appealed from City of Houston Municipal Court No. 2 Trial Court Cause number 2010 TR 0924478

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of speeding and assessed a fine of $65.00 in the City of Houston Municipal Court. She appealed the conviction on the record to the County Criminal Court at Law No. 2 of Harris County, Texas. That court affirmed the conviction and appellant perfected an appeal to this court. We dismiss the appeal.

A defendant may appeal to a court of appeals if she is convicted in a municipal court of record and that conviction is affirmed by the county court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 30.00027(a). However, such an appeal is permitted only if “the fine assessed against the defendant exceeds $100.” Id. Because the fine in this case does not exceed $100, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
