MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

On December 30, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal, stating he is challenging an interlocutory ruling of the trial court. We generally do not have jurisdiction to consider an appeal in a criminal case unless a judgment of conviction has been rendered. See McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). We do not have jurisdiction to review interlocutory orders unless that jurisdiction has been expressly granted by law. See Apolinar v. State, 820 S.W.2d 792, 794 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); see also Williams v. State, 464 S.W.2d 842, 844 (Tex. Crim. App. 1971)

2

(noting that an order on a motion to dismiss an indictment is reviewable on appeal after conviction).

It appears from the clerk's record that we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal. See Williams, 464 S.W.2d at 844; Keller v. State, 760 S.W.2d 816, 817 (Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 1988, no pet.). We therefore ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In reviewing appellant's response, we find no basis for jurisdiction over this appeal and thus dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
