EX PARTE: JIMMY RAY ADAMS
On Appeal from the 124th Judicial District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 19,549-B
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jimmy Ray Adams attempts to appeal the denial of his post-conviction application for writ
of habeas corpus. The trial court denied Adams' application January 9, 2009. Thus, Adams' notice
of appeal was due to be filed on or before February 9, 2009. See TEX . R. APP . P. 26.2, 4.1. A motion
for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due to be filed on or before February 23, 2009.
See TEX . R. APP . P. 26.3. No motion for extension of time was filed. Adams' pro se notice of appeal
was not filed until May 13, 2009.
A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke this Court's jurisdiction. See Olivo v. State,
918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
Adams has failed to perfect his appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction.
