On Appeal from the 232nd District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 760904

This is an attempted appeal of the trial court’s order
denying defendant’s request to obtain documents and trial record in forma
pauperis.  

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.CFort Worth 1996, no pet.).  The
exceptions include:  (1) certain appeals while on deferred adjudication
community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond, Tex. R. App. P.  31.1; McKown,
915 S.W.2d at 161;  and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus
relief, Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.CDallas 1998, no pet.);  McKown,
915 S.W.2d at 161.  
The denial of a motion to obtain trial records is not 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. 
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
