MICHAEL WAYNE OSBORNE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

__________________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 19-31505 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On June 5, 2019, we notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent

from the notice of appeal and warned that the appeal would be dismissed for want

of jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the

appeal. Appellant filed a response, but he failed to articulate a valid basis for

jurisdiction in that response.

1 Appellant has failed to demonstrate that the trial court has signed an order that

is appealable at this time. See McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—

Fort Worth 1996, no pet.) (holding that intermediate appellate courts lack

jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless such jurisdiction is expressly

granted by statute). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
