TOMMY JAMES MiLLER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F05-58514-Q

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Bridges and Myers Opinion By Chief Justice Wright Tommy James Miller filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order denying his “motion to obtain records and hearings.” Appellate courts have jurisdiction over appeals by criminal defendants only after conviction or from certain statutorily designated appealable orders. See Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589—90 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.). The Court has found no authority providing the right to appeal an order denying a motion to obtain records.

We dismiss the appeal for want ofjurisdiction,
