IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

TODD ALLEY,

APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE §

§

§ APPEAL S FROM THE 114TH

JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

SMITH COUNTY, TE

XAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

These appeals are being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Todd Alley, acting pro se,

filed a notice of appeal challenging the denial of his motion to dismiss charges and the denial of

his motion requesting protection f rom retaliation, and asking this Court to grant his motion to

dismiss and a motion to remove his appointed standby counsel

. On November 1, 2017, this

Court notified Appellant that his notice of appeal does not show the jurisdiction of this Court,

i.e., th e order s being appealed are not appealable . We informed Appellant that his appeal s would

be dismissed unless the information was amended on or before December 1 to show this Court’s

jurisdiction. The deadline has passed and Appellant has neither shown th e jurisdiction of this

Court nor otherwise responded to the November 1 notice.

As a general rule, an appeal in a criminal case may be taken only from a judgment of

conviction. See State v. Sellers , 790 S.W.2d 316, 321 n .4. (Tex. Crim. App. 1990) ; see

also Workman v. State , 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961)

. However, there are

certain narrow exceptions. Wright v. State , 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.

– Dallas 1998, no

pet.) (listing exceptions). The orders Appellant complains of are not judgments of conviction nor

do they fall within any exception to the general rule. Therefore, because we have no jurisdiction

over the appeals, we dismiss t he appeals for want of jurisdiction
