TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-11-00695-CR

                                Jerry Glen Myers, Jr., Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
         NO. 23,050, HONORABLE JOHN YOUNGBLOOD, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               In July 2011, appellant Jerry Glen Myers, Jr., pled guilty to possessing a prohibited

substance in a correctional facility and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment, probated for five

years. In late October 2011, the State filed a motion to revoke Myers’s probation. Myers filed a

notice of appeal asserting that his probation had been revoked. However, the trial court has informed

us that the State’s motion has not been acted on, which means there is no appealable order of which

Myers can complain. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Ahmad v. State,

158 S.W.3d 525, 526 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2004, pet. ref’d) (“Generally, a criminal defendant

may only appeal from a final judgment.”); see also Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a) (notice of appeal must

be filed within thirty days of date sentence is imposed or suspended or from date trial court “enters

an appealable order”).
