MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
Twyna Lynn Shields, a/k/a Twyna Lynn McGinnis, a/k/a Twyna Collins McGinnis is attempting to appeal her conviction and sentence for possession of a controlled substance. Appellant=s sentence was imposed on July 28, 2005, and no motion for new trial was filed. Therefore, appellant=s notice of appeal was due August 29, 2005;[2] however, the notice of appeal was not filed until October 31, 2005.
Because appellant=s notice of appeal was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal.[3] Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
