MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Murphy, and Fillmore
Opinion By Justice FitzGerald
Kwaku Owirodu was convicted of assault involving family violence. Punishment was
assessed at 365 days’ confinement in jail and was imposed in open court on February 1, 2012. No
motion for new trial was filed therefore, appellant’s notice of appeal was due by March 2. 2012.
See TEx. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(l). Appellant filed his notice of appeal on March 26, 2012, outside both
the thirty-day period provided by rule 26.2(a)( 1) and the fifteen-day extension period provided by
rule 26.3. See TEx. R. App. P. 26.3. Appellants untimely notice of appeal leaves us without
jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per
curiam).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
