No. 02-21-00039-CR No. 02-21-00040-CR ___________________________
ASHLEE NICOHL JONES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS
On Appeal from County Criminal Court No. 10 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 1584150, 1584154
Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Walker, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Walker
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Ashlee Nicohl Jones attempts to appeal from the trial court’s orders dismissing cause numbers 1584150 and 1584154 on the State’s motion. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 32.02. Generally, we have the jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant only if there has been a judgment of conviction. See Bridle v. State, 16 S.W.3d 906, 907 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2000, no pet.) (per curiam) (citing Workman v. State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961)); cf. Ex parte Minus, 37 S.W.2d 1040, 1040 (Tex. Crim. App. 1931) (“[T]he dismissal of the prosecution with the consent of the presiding judge is conclusive. . . . [T]he effect of such dismissal ousts the jurisdiction of this court to pass upon the questions of law presented in this appeal.”). We notified Jones of this possible jurisdictional defect, asking that she file a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, and warned that we could dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Jones has not responded. Because we do not have jurisdiction over Jones’s attempted appeals, we dismiss them. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Minus, 37 S.W.2d at 1040.
