                                          Before Morriss, C.J.,
Carter and Moseley, JJ.
                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
            Thomas Everett
Nix has filed a notice of appeal from the trial courts denial of his motion
for judgment nunc pro tunc.  
            The right to
appeal in a criminal case is a substantive right determined solely within the
province of the Legislature.  Lyon v.
State, 872 S.W.2d 732, 734 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994).  A defendant in any criminal action has the
right of appeal under the rules hereinafter prescribed.  Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02 (West 2006).  Generally, a criminal defendant may only
appeal from a final judgment.  See
State v. Sellers, 790 S.W.2d 316, 321 n.4 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990).  The courts of appeals do not have
jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless that jurisdiction has been
expressly granted by law.  Apolinar
v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Ahmad v. State,
158 S.W.3d 525, 526 (Tex. App.Fort Worth 2004, pet. refd).
            We do not
have jurisdiction over an appeal from an order denying a request for judgment
nunc pro tunc.  See generally State v. Ross,
953 S.W.2d 748, 75152 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); Sanchez v. State, 112 S.W.3d 311 (Tex.
App.Corpus Christi 2003, no pet.); Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735

(Tex. App.Waco 2002, pet. dismd); Allen v. State, 20 S.W.3d 164, 165
(Tex. App.Texarkana 2000, no pet.).
            We
dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
