WILLIAM MCINTOSH, Appellant v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 40th District Court Ellis County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 20084CR, 20085CR, 20086CR, 20087CR, 20379CR, 20380CR, 20381CR, 20382CR, 20383CR, and 20384CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
William Arthur McIntosh appeals the trial court’s denial of McIntosh’s “First Motion for Appointment of Counsel, for Habeas Corpus, Under Texas Fair Defense Act, Article 1.051 V.A.C.C.P.” in ten separate cases. No law authorizes an appeal from such a motion in a criminal case. See Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696-97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (standard for determining jurisdiction is not whether appeal is precluded by law, but whether appeal is authorized by law); Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no pet.) (stating that court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly granted by law). See also McIntosh v. State, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS 2183 (Tex. App.—Waco Mar. 5, 2015, no pet.) (same).
We have no jurisdiction of these appeals. Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed.1
