Felix Ramirez, Jr. v. State

Opinion

Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed May 15, 2018.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-18-00325-CR FELIX RAMIREZ, JR., Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 185th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 869189 MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an attempted appeal of the denial of a motion for the appointment of habeas corpus counsel.

A ruling denying a motion to appoint counsel is an interlocutory order. See e.g. Gutierrez v. State, 307 S.W.3d 318, 323 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010) (“an order denying appointed counsel under Article 64.01(c) is not an immediately appealable order”). We do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless jurisdiction has been expressly granted by statute. Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). There is no statutory authorization to appeal the denial of a motion to appoint counsel for a habeas corpus.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Wise, and Jewell.
