Jeremiah Hindman v. State ( 2015 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-15-00445-CR
Jeremiah HINDMAN,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas
From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013CR11660B
Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Jason Pulliam, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 29, 2015
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed sentence on June 2, 2014, and Jeremiah Hindman did not file a
motion for new trial. The deadline for filing a notice of appeal was therefore July 2, 2014. TEX. R.
APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A notice of appeal was not filed until June 3, 2015.
Because the notice of appeal in this case was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction to
entertain the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (holding
that if appeal is not timely perfected, court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address merits
of appeal, and court may take no action other than to dismiss appeal; court may not suspend rules
to alter time for perfecting appeal); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996);
04-15-00445-CR
see also Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (explaining that
writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure governs
out-of-time appeals from felony convictions). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of
jurisdiction.
