MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Schenck, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Myers
On January 9, 2020, Angel Guadalupe Torres filed a “Notice of Past Due Findings of
Fact and Conclusions of Law” with this Court. To date, no notice of appeal has been filed either
in the trial court or in this Court.
“In a criminal case, appeal is perfected by timely filing a sufficient notice of appeal.”
TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(b). “Notice is sufficient if it shows the party’s desire to appeal from the
judgment or other appealable order . . . .” Id. 25.2(c)(2).
The notice of past due findings of fact and conclusions of law is directed to the Criminal
District Court No. 3 and makes no mention of an appeal to this Court. And, when asked, the
Dallas County District Clerk informed us no documents indicating an intent to appeal had been
filed below. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction over this case.
We dismiss this appeal.
