                                  On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3

                                             M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from an order of discretionary transfer of a juvenile matter to adult criminal court pursuant to Tex. Fam. Code Ann. ' 54.02 (Vernon 2002).  As the State contends, Tex. Fam. Code Ann. ' 56.01 (Vernon 2002) does not authorize a direct appeal from this type of transfer order.  Any challenges to a transfer order must be raised in the appeal from the conviction in criminal court.  Carlson v. State, 151 S.W.3d 643, 644 n.1 (Tex. App.CEastland 2004, no pet.).

Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
