Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed January 10, 2023.

                                     In The

                    Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                              NO. 14-22-00775-CR

                        JOSHUA J. SCOTT, Appellant

                                        V.
                      THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                   On Appeal from the 453rd District Court
                            Hays County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. CR-17-1315-D

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an attempted interlocutory appeal. Generally, an appellate court only
has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been
a final judgment of conviction. Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343
S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort
Worth 1996, no pet.). The record before this court does not contain a separately
appealable order. Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the
general rule that appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, we
have no jurisdiction.

      On December 19, 2022, this court notified the parties that the appeal was
subject to being dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless any party filed a response
demonstrating that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received. We
dismiss the appeal.
