Opinion

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.
