LOUIS CHARLES DEAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 178th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 916202
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. Appellant was sentenced in this case on September 5, 2002. No motion for new trial was filed. The deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore Monday, October 7, 2002, because the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend. Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).
Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on October 9, 2002, according to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record. Because the notice of appeal was mailed after the filing deadline, it did not comply with Rule 9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule." See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). Although the notice of appeal was filed within the 15-day time period for filing a motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal, no such motion for extension of time was filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.
We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
It is so ORDERED.
