v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2004-CR-9012

Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 13, 2006

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Joseph William Lewis filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying Lewis's motion to modify the conditions of his pretrial bond. "The courts of appeals do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless that jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law." Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We know of no authority granting a right to appeal pretrial an order setting a condition on pretrial bail. See Bridle v. State, 16 S.W.3d 906, 908 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2000, no pet.) (dismissing for want of jurisdiction Bridle's appeal from order requiring ignition interlock device installed on vehicle as a condition of pretrial bond). Accordingly, we ordered Lewis to file a response showing cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond to our order. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
