EX PARTE ROBERT RANDALL LONG
On Appeal from the 177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1199409, 1216882, 1235282
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robert Randall Long is attempting to appeal the denial of three applications for writ of habeas corpus. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
In all three cases, the record fails to contain a written order denying the application for writ of habeas corpus. The docket sheet in each case indicates the application was denied on April 12, 2010, by “oral ruling.” Docket entries may not take the place of a separate order and a judge’s oral pronouncement is not appealable until a written order is signed. Ex parte Wiley, 949 S.W.2d 3, 4 (Tex. App. – Forth Worth 1996, no pet.) (citing State v. Kibler, 874 S.W.2d 330, 332 (Tex. App. -- Forth Worth 1994, no pet.)). Because there is no written appealable order, we dismiss each appeal for want of jurisdiction. See State v. Cox, 235 S.W.3d 283, 285 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth 2007, no pet.).
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Brown, Sullivan, and Christopher.
