LESLEY REED, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 95601

MEMORANDUM OPINION 
	On May 4, 2006, we informed the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from
the notice of appeal, and notified them that the appeal would be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  No
reply has been filed.
	The notice of appeal seeks to appeal the denial of a motion to recuse.  The trial court's
denial of this motion is not appealable at this time.  See Tex. R. Civ. P. 18a(f) (denial of
motion to recuse is reviewed on appeal from the final judgment); Arnold v. State, 853 S.W.2d
543, 544 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993) (civil rule governing recusal motions applies in a criminal
case).
	Accordingly, we hold the order from which the appellant appeals is not appealable. 
The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
	APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
