GUADALUPE TOVAR ROSALES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 253rd District Court
Chambers County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 11369
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. Appellant was sentenced in this case on December 17, 2001. No motion for new trial was filed. The deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore January 16, 2002, 30 days after sentencing. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on March 27, 2002, more than two months after the deadline. The notice of appeal itself indicates that appellant did not execute it until March 22, 2002. When no timely notice of appeal is filed, an appellate court is without authority to do anything other than to dismiss the appeal. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
It is so ORDERED.
