### MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Just ices Lang

- Miers, Evans, and Schenck

Opinion by Justice Evans Harmon L. Taylor appeals the municipal court’s judgments finding him guilty of operating a motor vehicle without license plates; expired registration

– display expired license plates; no proof of financial responsibility/liability insurance; no driver’s lice nse; and failure to appear/bail jumping. After being found guilty of each violation by a jury in municipal court, appellant filed appeals in County Court at Law No. 2 where he then filed a “Plea to the Jurisdiction” and “Special Appearance” in each appea l. In orders dated June 6, 2018, the trial court denied each of his pleas and special appearances. Appellant then filed these appeals. As a general rule, an appellate court may consider appeals by criminal defendants only after conviction or the entry of a narrow set of appealable interlocutory orders. T EX

App. 1991); Wright , 969 S.W.2d at 589. An order denying a plea to the jurisdiction or special appearance is not an appealable order in a criminal case

. We do not find any grant of authority to review by interlocutory appeal the denial of a plea to the jurisdiction or special appearance in a criminal case. We dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction.
