Means v. State
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided February 27, 1992 · Bass, Cohen, Wilson
825 S.W.2d 260; 1992 Tex. App. LEXIS 482; 1992 WL 33974 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Means v. State

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order denying the appellant’s motion for recusal and disqualification of the trial judge in a criminal prosecution, after the appellant was granted a mistrial. The order complained of is interlocutory. We have no jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders except in narrow circumstances not present here. See *261Ex parte Robinson, 641 S.W.2d 552, 555 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1982) (pretrial appellate review of double jeopardy claims is constitutionally compelled). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Casias v. State, 503 S.W.2d 262, 265 (Tex.Crim.App. 1973); Petty v. State, 800 S.W.2d 582, 583 (Tex.App.—Tyler 1990, no pet.); Tex.R.App.P. 41(b)(1).
