                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Bridges and Myers
                                Opinion By Chief Justice Wright

       Tommy James Miller filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order denying his “motion

to obtain records and hearings.” Appellate courts have jurisdiction over appeals by criminal

defendants only after conviction or from certain statutorily designated appealable orders. See Wright

v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589—90 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.). The Court has found no

authority providing the right to appeal an order denying a motion to obtain records.
       We dismiss the appeal for want ofjurisdiction,
