FREDDIE WALLACE v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (2016)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Freddie Wallace attempts to appeal the trial court's denial of his motion for appointment of counsel pursuant to article 64.01(c) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.01(c) (West 2006). The decision to deny appointed counsel is not an “appealable order” under Rule 25.2(a)(2) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Gutierrez v. State, 307 S.W.3d 318, 323 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). Thus, we have no jurisdiction to consider Wallace's claim that the trial court erred in denying his request for appointed counsel. Id.; see TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.¹
