                                      San Antonio, Texas
                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                          No. 04-23-00162-CR

                                          Terrance BRYANT,
                                               Appellant

                                                    v.

                                         The STATE of Texas,
                                               Appellee

                      From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                    Trial Court No. 2021CR10931
                               Honorable Ron Rangel, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
                  Irene Rios, Justice
                  Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 17, 2023

APPEAL DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION

           The clerk’s record in this appeal contains a pro se notice of appeal, which states appellant

files “within thirty (30) days of sentencing having been imposed against Defendant on the 02 day

of Dec[ember], 2021, in said cause . . . this written notice of appeal . . ..” The clerk’s record does

not contain anything dated December 2, 2021. Furthermore, appellant is still awaiting trial.

Therefore, it appears this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. See Nikrasch v. State, 698

S.W.2d 443, 450 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1985, no pet.) (“The appellate court has no jurisdiction over

the appeal of a cause without a copy of the judgment.”). Accordingly, on March 7, 2023, this court
                                                                                    04-23-00162-CR

ordered appellant to show cause in writing no later than March 17, 2023 why this appeal should

not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. All other appellate deadlines were held in abeyance

pending further order of this court.

       Appellant has not responded to our order. This appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
