                                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                       On Appeal from the 188th Judicial District Court

                                                             Gregg County, Texas

                                                          Trial Court No. 37052-A

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss


                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Quincy Wellington Jackson filed a notice of appeal December 16, 2009, “on errors raised by written motion and ruled on before trial and on errors arising during and subsequent to trial.”  After a thorough review of the clerk’s record, we found no appealable order in the record.[1]

            A timely notice of appeal from a conviction or an appealable order is necessary to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction.  Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  This Court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly granted by law.  Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.).

            After our receipt of the clerk’s record March 29, we notified counsel by letter March 30 of the possible jurisdictional defect and requested that counsel, within ten days of the date of the letter, show this Court how it had jurisdiction.  Counsel filed a motion requesting that this appeal be abated to the trial court “for entry of an order correcting the record to show that hearings [in a companion case] were also hearings in the other case.”   

            That motion is overruled.  There being no appealable order in the record, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                                    Josh R. Morriss, III

                                                                                    Chief Justice

[1]We note that the same competency hearing was involved both in this case and the companion, but while the other case proceeded to judgment, there is nothing to reflect that this prosecution did likewise.
