                                          No. 04-20-00057-CR

                                      Temitope A. OLAGESHIN,
                                              Appellant

                                                    v.

                                         The STATE of Texas,
                                               Appellee

                      From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                    Trial Court No. 2019CR13033

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 11, 2020

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

           Appellant Temitope A. Olageshin filed a pro se notice of appeal, stating his intent to appeal

the trial court’s December 4, 2019 order that increased the amount of his pretrial bond. We,

however, do not have jurisdiction over this appeal.

           Courts of appeal “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). A trial court’s order on a motion to modify the amount or conditions of a

pretrial bond is not authorized by statute and therefore is not appealable. See Ragston v. State, 424
                                                                                       04-20-00057-CR

S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (“There is no constitutional or statutory authority granting

the courts of appeals jurisdiction to hear interlocutory appeals regarding excessive bail or the denial

of bail.”); Ex parte Herrera, No. 04-18-00020-CR, 2018 WL 1733123, at *2 (Tex. App.—San

Antonio Apr. 11, 2018, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (holding court of

appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider issues seeking to appeal the trial court’s order increasing

the amount of the appellant’s pretrial bond); Sanchez v. State, 340 S.W.3d 848, 852 (Tex. App.—

San Antonio 2011, no pet.) (holding court of appeals lacked jurisdiction over appeal of pretrial

order on motion for reduction of bond).

       On January 31, 2020, this court ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal

should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not file a response showing that we

have jurisdiction over this appeal. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
