David James Chapman v. State

Opinion

Opinion issued February 11, 2016

In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-14-00980-CR ——————————— DAVID JAMES CHAPMAN, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 183rd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1421328

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, David James Chapman, was charged with the offense of evading arrest. The clerk’s record contains no judgment of conviction because the State moved to dismiss this cause and, on November 12, 2014, the trial court granted the motion and dismissed this cause. Thus, there is no adverse ruling and no judgment of conviction from which Chapman may appeal.

Having found the record reveals that Williams received no adverse rulings and the charge was dismissed, we hold that we have no jurisdiction over this appeal.

See Valencia v. State, No. 05–06–01727–CR, 2007 WL 196449, at * 1 (Tex. App.— Dallas Jan. 26, 2007, no pet.) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction where record contained no judgment of conviction and thus, nothing was presented for review).

We dismiss the appeal. We deny all pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Bland, Brown, and Lloyd.

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
