IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                  No. 10-16-00407-CR

FREDDIE WALLACE,
                                                              Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                              Appellee

                          From the 272nd District Court
                               Brazos County, Texas
                         Trial Court No. 05-03424-CRF-272

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Freddie Wallace attempts to appeal the trial court’s denial of his motion for

appointment of counsel pursuant to article 64.01(c) of the Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.01(c) (West 2006). The decision to

deny appointed counsel is not an "appealable order" under Rule 25.2(a)(2) of the Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure. Gutierrez v. State, 307 S.W.3d 318, 323 (Tex. Crim. App.

2010). Thus, we have no jurisdiction to consider Wallace’s claim that the trial court erred

in denying his request for appointed counsel. Id.; see TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
        Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.1
