MATTHEW M. MASON, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
________________________________________________________
 
On Appeal from the 337th District Court
Harris
County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 993,653
________________________________________________________
 
M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
This is an attempted pro se appeal from the trial court=s judgment that appellant is
presently incompetent to stand trial for theft. 




Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to
consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been a final
judgment of conviction.  Workman v.
State, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 1961); McKown v. State,
915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.CFort Worth 1996, no pet.). 
The exceptions include: (1) certain appeals while on deferred
adjudication community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625
(Tex. Crim. App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond,
Tex. R. App. P. 31.1; McKown,
915 S.W.2d at 161; and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus
relief, Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.CDallas 1998, no pet.); McKown,
915 S.W.2d at 161.
Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to
the general rule that appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of
conviction, we have no jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
