MARY GUZMAN TELLO, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 361st District Court

Brazos County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 08-02071-CRF-361

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

According to information provided to this Court, appellant entered a plea agreement with the State on December 10, 2008, and she filed a notice of appeal the same day.  On April 30, 2009, the Brazos County District Clerk=s office advised this Court that no judgment has been entered in this case. 

Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been a final judgment of conviction.  Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961).  In addition, a notice of appeal in a criminal case is not effective when filed before the trial court makes a finding of guilt.  See Tex. R. App. P. 27.1(b). 

On May 1, 2009, this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless a response was filed in ten days demonstrating that we have jurisdiction over this appeal.  No response was filed.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
