Shanna Suzanne Wick v. State

NO. 12-15-00064-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS SHANNA SUZANNE WICK, § APPEAL FROM THE 7TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM This appeal is being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant Shanna Suzanne Wick was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for interference with child custody. Later, the trial court revoked Appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated her guilt, and assessed her punishment at two years in a state jail facility. In a criminal case, the notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after sentence is imposed or within ninety days after that date if a motion for new trial is filed. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Appellant’s sentence was imposed on November 14, 2014, and she timely filed a motion for new trial. Therefore, her notice of appeal was due to have been filed no later than February 12, 2015. However, Appellant did not file her notice of appeal until March 12, 2015. Because Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed on or before February 12, 2015, it was untimely, and this court has no jurisdiction of the appeal. On March 16, 2015, this court notified Appellant, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 37.1 and 42.3, that her notice of appeal was untimely and there was no timely motion for an extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3. Appellant was further informed that the appeal would be dismissed unless the information in this appeal was amended, on or before March 26, 2015, to show the jurisdiction of this court. That deadline has passed, and Appellant has not shown the jurisdiction of this court. Because this court is not authorized to extend the time for perfecting an appeal except as provided by Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 26.1 and 26.3, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Opinion delivered March 31, 2015. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
