Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-23-00524-CR

John Gilbert CENTENO Jr., Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-CR-11020 Honorable Andrew Carruthers, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 12, 2023

DISMISSED

On May 15, 2023, Appellant John Gilbert Centeno Jr., representing himself, filed a petition

for judicial review, but with no reference to an appealable order. We have not found an appealable

order under trial court cause number 2021CR11020 relating to Appellant’s petition.

On June 1, 2023, we advised Appellant that the clerk’s record does not contain an

appealable judgment or order. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 44.02 (authorizing a

defendant in a criminal action to appeal); Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App.

2008) (reiterating that the right to appeal under article 44.02 is limited to appeal from a final 04-23-00524-CR

judgment). We ordered Appellant to show cause in writing by June 21, 2023, why this appeal

should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We warned Appellant that if he failed to show

cause in writing as ordered, this appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Abbott,

271 S.W.3d at 697 n.8.

To date, Appellant has not filed any response. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for

want of jurisdiction.
