Courts of appeal have jurisdiction of an appeal by a criminal defendant only after a conviction or when an appeal is specifically authorized by statute. See Skillern v. State, 355 S.W.3d 262, 266– (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2011, pet. ref’d) (citing Workman v. State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961)); see also Ragston v. State, 424 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex.

statute authorizing a criminal defendant to appeal an indictment. See Gary, 2014 WL 3930752, at *1.

On September 18, 2024, we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant has not responded to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
