                                     Court of Appeals

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
                       Before Justices Moseley, Bridges, and Lang-Miers
                                   Opinion by Justice Bridges
       Terry Clark Shelton was convicted of aggravated robbery. Punishment, enhanced by two

prior felony convictions, was assessed at fifty years’ imprisonment, and was imposed in open

court on November 5, 2010. On February 20, 2013, appellant filed a motion in the trial court

seeking a free copy of the record for his case. It does not appear the trial court ruled on

appellant’s motion, but appellant filed a notice of appeal on March 29, 2012.

       Absent a judgment of conviction or appealable order, the Court has no jurisdiction over

an appeal. See Nikrasch v. State, 698 S.W.2d 443, 450 (Tex. App.––Dallas ). Moreover, an

order denying appellant a copy of the record is not an appealable order. See Wright v. State, 969
S.W.2d 588, 589–90 (Tex. App.––Dallas 1998, no pet.).
       We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
