                                   RONALD ALLEN BOAZ, Appellant

                                                                V.

                                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                      On Appeal from the 102nd Judicial District Court

                                                          Red River County, Texas

                                                          Trial Court No. CR00052

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Ronald Allen Boaz was convicted in July 2003 of sexual assault.

            On April 8, 2010, Boaz filed with the trial court a request for a free copy of “trial transcripts and police records.”  The trial court denied that request April 27, 2010, and Boaz now attempts to appeal the denial of his request.

            This Court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly granted by law.  Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.).  No statute vests this Court with jurisdiction over an appeal from an order denying a request for a free copy of the trial record when such a request is not presented in conjunction with a timely filed direct appeal.  Id.; see Self v. State, 122 S.W.3d 294, 294–95 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2003, no pet.).

            We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                        Josh R. Morriss, III

                                                                        Chief Justice
