                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On September 14, 2018, Luis Enrique Rivera filed a notice of appeal from an

order signed March 26, 2018, which denied in part Rivera’s request for the return of

property in his criminal case. 1 We questioned our jurisdiction. Rivera filed a

response, but his response failed to establish that Rivera timely perfected an appeal

      1
         Rivera’s capital murder was affirmed on appeal. See Rivera v. State, 381
S.W.3d 710, 715 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 2012, pet. ref’d). None of the documents
submitted by the appellant suggest that the seized items have been the subject of a
civil forfeiture proceeding.
                                         1
from an appealable order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
