THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                                      Appellee

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

         Marshall Shane Hicks was convicted in 2010 of indecency with a child. On

October 27, 2014, he filed a “Notice of Appeal” by which he now seeks to appeal a

“notice to set hearing on [his] ‘Motion for Bill of Review and Summary Judgment’” in

that same criminal case.1 No law authorizes an appeal from such a notice or motion in a

1On October 30, 2014, Hicks filed a document entitled “Motion for Judgment to Correct Clerical Mistake
(Nunc Pro Tunc)” as an original proceeding requesting relief directly from this Court. We have filed that
as a new proceeding rather than as a motion in this proceeding. It will be addressed independently from
this proceeding.
criminal case.      See Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696-97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008)

(standard for determining jurisdiction is not whether appeal is precluded by law, but

whether appeal is authorized by law); Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—

Waco 2002, no pet.) (stating that court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when

expressly granted by law).

        We have no jurisdiction of this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 2
