MEMORANDUM  Opinion

 




            A grand jury presented twelve indictments
for forgery against Helen Mayfield, and each indictment was assigned a
different cause number by the district clerk.  She went to trial on four of the
indictments, and a jury convicted her in each case.  She was not tried on the
other eight indictments, and they remain pending.  Mayfield filed a notice of
appeal in all twelve cases.[1]  We
will dismiss the appeals in the eight cases which remain pending in the trial
court because no final judgment of conviction or other appealable order has
been entered in any of them.
            This Court has appellate jurisdiction
in criminal cases to review final judgments of conviction and other
interlocutory orders for which jurisdiction is “expressly granted by law.”  See
Ahmad v. State, 158 S.W.3d 525, 526 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2004, pet. ref’d)
(quoting Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991))
(citing State v. Sellers, 790 S.W.2d 316, 321 n.4 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990))
(other citations omitted).  Accordingly, the Clerk of this Court notified Mayfield
that these eight appeals were subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction if she
did not file a response showing grounds for continuing the appeals.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 44.3.  The Court
has received no response.  Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.[2]  See
Ahmad, 158 S.W.3d at 527.
