COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT NO. 5 OF DENTON COUNTY

                                MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------
Appellant Rick Dunn attempts
to appeal his three convictions for construction of a water tank in excess of
5,000 gallons without obtaining a permit. 
In each case, the trial court assessed as punishment a $99 fine, plus
court costs.

On August 13, 2007, the State
filed a motion to dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction because the
fines imposed by the county court do not exceed $100 and appellant=s brief does not raise as its sole issue the constitutionality of the
statute or ordinance upon which his convictions are based.  See Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 4.03 (Vernon 2005); Preston v. State,
145 S.W.3d 683, 684 (Tex. App.CCorpus Christi 2004, no pet.).[2]  Appellant has not responded to the motion to
dismiss.  Accordingly, we grant the State=s motion and dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art 4.03; Tex.
R. App. P. 43.2(f); Preston, 145 S.W.3d at 684.
