                                              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

                                                     MEMORANDUM 
OPINION
 
            William
Malone has filed a notice of appeal in which he states that he is appealing
from the trial court’s denial, on December 27, 2010, of his motion for review
and/or motion for reconsideration of his conviction.  The notice of appeal was filed February 2,
2011.  His underlying conviction was
seven years earlier, on February 27, 2004. 

            The
right to appeal is conferred by the Legislature.  Rushing v. State, 85 S.W.3d 283, 286
(Tex. Crim. App. 2002).  A party may
appeal only that which the Legislature has authorized.  Marin v. State, 851 S.W.2d 275, 278
(Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Galitz v. State, 617 S.W.2d 949, 951 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1981); see Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(a), (b); Alvorado v. State, 83 S.W.3d 203, 205 (Tex. App.—Amarillo
2002, no pet.).
            The
notice of appeal is not from a judgment of conviction.  We have reviewed the motion at bar, and can
find no authority permitting us to conclude that its denial is a type of order
which the Legislature has set out as being appealable.  We, therefore, have no jurisdiction over the
appeal.
            We
dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
