does not explain what the hearings concerned, and he has not shown that a postconviction proceeding concluded with the signing of an order that is appealable at this time.

“No statute vests this court with jurisdiction over an appeal from an order denying a request for a free copy of the trial record when such a request is not presented in conjunction with a timely filed direct appeal.” Clegg v. State, 214 S.W.3d 671 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, no pet.). We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
