Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00281-CR Leroy SANCHEZ, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017CR13374 Honorable Andrew Carruthers, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: May 30, 2018 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant appears to be seeking to appeal an order for competency evaluation. An order for competency evaluation is not an appealable order. See Jackson v. State, No. 01-13-00561-CR, 2014 WL 123838, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Jan. 14, 2014, no pet.) (“Although written pretrial motions for psychiatric evaluations to determine competency and sanity were filed, the motions were granted and, therefore, do not provide a basis for appeal.”) (citing Woods v. State, 108 S.W.3d 314, 316 n.6 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003)); TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 46B.011 (“Neither 04-18-00281-CR

the state nor the defendant is entitled to make an interlocutory appeal relating to a determination or ruling under Article 46B.005.”).

On May 1, 2018, appellant was ordered to show cause in writing by May 15, 2018 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not file a response.

Because this court lacks jurisdiction to consider an interlocutory appeal of an order for competency evaluation, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
