JAMIE ALBERTO IBARRA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1287084 and 1287085

MEMORANDUM OPINION

These attempted appeals are from the denial of motions to recuse. Procedures for recusal and disqualification found in the civil rules are applicable to criminal cases. Arnold v. State, 853 S.W.2d 543, 544 (Tex. Crim. App.1993); and Soderman v. State, 915 S.W.2d 605, (Tex. App. -- Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, pet. ref’d). An order denying a motion to recuse may be reviewed only for abuse of discretion on appeal from the final conviction. See Moorhead v. State, 972 S.W.2d 93, 94 -95 (Tex. App. -- Texarkana 1998, no pet.); Tex. R. Civ. P. 18a(j)(1)(A).

Accordingly, the appeals are ordered dismissed.
