HAROLD SHEPARD, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 949228
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The trial court sentenced appellant, Harold Shepard, and signed a final judgment in this case on June 1, 2006. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial, and therefore the deadline for filing a notice of appeal was July 1, 2006, 30 days after sentencing and therefore the deadline for filing notice of appeal was Monday, July 3, 2003, because the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend. Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on September 25, 2006, 84 days after the deadline. Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on September 22, 2006, 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).
An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest the appellate court with jurisdiction to hear the case. 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); Douglas v. State, 987 S.W.2d 605, 605-06 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.).
We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
All pending motions are denied as moot.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
