                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 1, 2013, we notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not

apparent from the notice of appeal and the appeal would be dismissed for want of

jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the

appeal. No response has been filed.

      The notice of appeal seeks to appeal the denial of a motion to quash the

indictment. The order is not appealable prior to conviction. See Apolinar v. State,

820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Ahmad v. State, 158 S.W.3d 525

                                        1
(Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2004, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for

want of jurisdiction.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.

                                           ________________________________
