Court of Appeals

First District of Texas

NO. 01-07-00073-CR

DANE COTY ESPINOSA Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 23rd Judicial District Court
Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 47652
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The trial court sentenced appellant, Dane Coty Espinosa, and signed a final judgment in this case on November 28, 2006. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial, and therefore the deadline for filing notice of appeal was December 28, 2006, 30 days after sentencing. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on January 30, 2007, 33 days after the deadline. 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.).
Even if we were to construe appellant’s notice of appeal filed on January 30, 2007 as a motion for an out-of-time appeal, neither the trial court nor this Court has authority to grant an out-of-time appeal. The exclusive post-conviction remedy in final felony convictions in Texas courts is through a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2008).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
We dismiss as moot any pending motions.
It is so ORDERED.
