Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00577-CR
Joshua Robert JAMES, Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-CR-007283 Honorable Joel Perez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 3, 2025
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
On September 12, 2025, appellant, Joshua Robert James, filed a pro se notice of appeal.
The notice of appeal states that he was sentenced on September 29, 2025. As such, there was no
final appealable order or judgment at the time James filed his notice of appeal. See TEX. CODE
CRIM. PRO. art. 44.02. Moreover, the clerk’s record, which was finalized on October 8, 2025, does
not contain a final appealable order or judgment. Id. 04-25-00577-CR
On October 8, 2025, we ordered James to show cause in writing why this appeal should
not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. James has not filed a response.
Accordingly, since the clerk’s record does not contain an appealable judgment or order,
and James did not file any response to show how this court has jurisdiction in this appeal, we
dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
