In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00960-CR

KYLE LEE BRADSHAW, Appellant V.

STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 17-90166-86-F

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Myers Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers Kyle Lee Bradhaw, who has not been convicted or finally sentenced, filed a notice of

appeal, seeking to challenge the trial court’s denial of his pretrial motion to suppress. We do not

have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders in a criminal appeal unless that jurisdiction has

been expressly granted by law. Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); Ex

parte Apolinar, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Although the State may appeal an

order granting a pretrial motion to suppress evidence, see TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.

44.01(a)(5), no corresponding provision entitles a defendant to appeal the denial of such a motion.

See id. art. 44.02; Dahlem v. State, 322 S.W.3d 685, 690–91 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2010, pet.

ref’d) (noting pretrial order on motion to suppress is interlocutory ruling that is not appealable by

defendant).

We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
