DISMISS and Opinion Filed October 11, 2023

                                    S  In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-23-00769-CR

                           EBBY WADE, Appellant
                                    V.
                        THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                On Appeal from the 397th Judicial District Court
                            Grayson County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. 073026

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
          Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Garcia, and Justice Kennedy
                          Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      Appellant filed a notice of appeal stating he was appealing the Regional

Presiding Judge’s pretrial denial of appellant’s motion to recuse the trial judge. The

clerk’s record shows final judgment of conviction has not been signed; therefore,

this appeal is interlocutory.

      Courts of appeals do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders

unless that jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law. Ragston v. State, 424

S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
      The pretrial denial of a motion to recuse the trial judge is not an appealable

interlocutory order. See Silver v. State¸ 04-22-00190-CR, 2022 WL 1478571, at *1

(Tex. App.—San Antonio May 11, 2022, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem op.) (not

designated for publication). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See

id. We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
