IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-00-114-CR

     RICHARD SCOTT,

                                                                         Appellant

     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                                                         Appellee

From the County Court

Hamilton County, Texas

Trial Court # 12,639

O P I N I O N

      On March 29, Richard Scott filed a notice of appeal. We noted that it appeared to be an attempt to appeal from an interlocutory order. Scott filed a pro se brief asserting that the appeal should be continued even though no trial has been held. We find no authority for continuing this appeal. Therefore, it is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 27.1(b) (“ . . . a notice of appeal is not effective if filed before the trial court makes a finding of guilt or receives a jury verdict.”).

                                                                       PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Davis,

          Justice Vance, and

          Justice Gray

Dismissed for want of jurisdiction
