Lasaro Sandoval v. State ( 2006 )

NO. 07-06-0187-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL D MAY 16, 2006 ______________________________ LASARO JUNIOR SANDOVAL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________ FROM THE 181st DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY; NO. 49,915-B; HON. JOHN B. BOARD, PRESIDING _______________________________ Order of Dismissal ________________________________ Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ. Pending before the court is the appeal of Lasaro Junior Sandoval. He was convicted of aggravated assault on a public servant. We received the reporter’s record on May 5, 2006. So too did we receive a letter from Sandoval on May 5, 2006, inquiring about the appeal. However, we have no notice of appeal, and the district clerk certified that none was ever filed after Sandoval was convicted and sentenced on December 19, 2005. Finally, the time to file one under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure has long since lapsed.1 Without a timely filed notice of appeal, we have no jurisdiction over the cause. Consequently, we dismiss the matter for want of jurisdiction. Brian Quinn Chief Justice Do not publish. 1 W e note that ap pellant m ay petition the Court of Criminal Appeals via art. 11.07 of the Code of Crim inal Procedure fo r lea ve to file a belate d appeal. 2
