        On June 9, 2021, the State filed a notice of appeal from an order granting a mistrial. The
trial court ordered a mistrial following the jury’s declaration that it was unable to reach a
verdict. The notice of appeal indicated the State sought to appeal pursuant to articles 44.01(a)(2)
and (3) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, which authorize an appeal by the State of an
order that arrests or modifies a judgment or grants a new trial. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.
44.01(a)(2), (3). A question has arisen about our jurisdiction to hear the State’s appeal. We
ORDER the State to show cause in writing by May 31, 2022 why this appeal should not be
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Once the State files its response, appellee may respond to it
within fourteen days. We withdraw the existing submission date. A new submission date with be
forthcoming.
