Lucas Coe, Appellant

V.

The State of Texas, Appellee

 

On Appeal from the 232nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1227878

 

MEMORANDUM  OPINION

 

This is an attempted appeal of an order quashing a subpoena. 

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); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.).  The exceptions include:  (1) certain appeals while on deferred adjudication community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond, Tex. R. App. P.  31.1; McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161; and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus relief.  Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.); McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161

An order quashing a subpoena is not a separately appealable order.  Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the general rule that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, we have no jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
