IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                 No. 10-18-00251-CR

DEMETRIUS RASHAD GREER,
                                                            Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                            Appellee

                           From the 19th District Court
                            McLennan County, Texas
                           Trial Court No. 2017-874-C1

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On July 9, 2018 Demetrius Greer filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal his

conviction for assault family violence entered on April 30, 2018. The certificate of right

to appeal indicated that it was a plea bargain case and that Greer waived his right to

appeal. We dismissed that appeal, Cause No. 10-18-00222-CR, on July 18, 2018. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
        On July 25, 2018, Greer filed an “Amended Notice of Appeal” in which he attempts

to appeal the trial court’s July 6 order denying his motion for new trial. The amended

notice of appeal gave rise to this proceeding. The right of appeal in criminal cases is

conferred by the Legislature, and a party may appeal only from judgments of conviction

or interlocutory orders authorized as appealable. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.

44.02 (West 2006); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2); see also Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2014). In this case, Greer does not appeal from a judgment of conviction or

an appealable interlocutory order.             See, e.g., Mack v. State, No. 10-17-00383-

CR,     S.W.3d   , 2017 Tex. App. LEXIS 11326 (Tex. App.—Waco Dec. 6, 2017, pet.

ref’d). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
