MARY GUZMAN TELLO, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 

 
On Appeal from the
361st District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No.

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
According
to information provided to this Court, appellant entered a plea agreement with
the State on December 10, 2008, and she filed a notice of appeal the same day. 
On April 30, 2009, the Brazos County District Clerk=s office advised this Court that no
judgment has been entered in this case.  

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).  In addition, a
notice of appeal in a criminal case is not effective when filed before the
trial court makes a finding of guilt.  See Tex. R. App. P. 27.1(b).  
On May
1, 2009, this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to
dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless a response was filed in ten days
demonstrating that we have jurisdiction over this appeal.  No response was
filed.
Accordingly,
the appeal is ordered dismissed.
