Melvin Earl Jackson v. State ( 2012 )

MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00310-CR
Melvin Earl JACKSON,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2010CR9471
Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 13, 2012
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed or suspended sentence on December 8, 2011. Appellant did not
file his notice of appeal until May 8, 2012. Because he did not file a motion for new trial, the
notice of appeal was due to be filed on January 9, 2012. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Further,
even if appellant had filed a motion for new trial, his notice of appeal would have been due to be
filed on March 7, 2012. See id. Thus, by waiting until May 8, 2012, appellant did not timely file
his notice of appeal, and we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. We therefore ordered appellant to
04-12-00310-CR
show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Although appellant
responded to our order, his response does not indicate that we have jurisdiction over this appeal.
Thus, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction
