Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00080-CR

Maximino Manuel REYES, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018CR12218 Honorable Joel Perez, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 19, 2025

DISMISSED

The clerk’s record in this appeal contains a pro se notice of appeal, which states appellant

files “within thirty (30) days of sentencing having been imposed against [appellant] on the 08 day

of January, 2025, in said cause . . . this written notice of appeal . . . .” The clerk’s record does not

contain anything dated January 8, 2025. Furthermore, appellant is still awaiting trial. Therefore, it

appears this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. See Nikrasch v. State, 698 S.W.2d 443, 450 04-25-00080-CR

(Tex. App.—Dallas 1985, no pet.) (“The appellate court has no jurisdiction over the appeal of a

cause without a copy of the judgment.”).

On February 13, 2025, we issued an order requiring appellant to show cause no later than

February 24, 2025, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. On February

18, 2025, appellant’s counsel filed a response representing appellant could not show any cause for

this court to retain jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
