the State of Texas v. Marco Antonio Gloria

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

September 1, 2021

No. 04-21-00272-CR, 04-21-00273-CR, 04-21-00274-CR The STATE of Texas,

Appellant v.

Marco Antonio GLORIA,

Appellee

From the 365th Judicial District Court, Maverick County, Texas Trial Court No. 19-02-07981-MCRAJA, 19-02-07982-MCRAJA, 19-02-07984-MCRAJA Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On June 9, 2021, appellant the State of Texas filed a notice of appeal stating its intent to appeal an “order granting a mistrial/new trial in these cause numbers.” The clerk’s record, which was filed on July 30, 2021, does not contain any written orders. A trial court’s oral announcement of its decision in open court is not final and appealable until the trial judge signs a written order. State v. Kibler, 874 S.W.2d 330, 332 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1994, no pet.).

We therefore ORDER appellant to file in this court by October 1, 2021, a response showing cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to satisfactorily respond within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). If a supplemental clerk’s record is required to establish this court’s jurisdiction, appellant must ask the trial court clerk to prepare one and must notify the clerk of this court that such a request was made. All deadlines in this matter are suspended until further order of the court.
