MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darrell Roberts is attempting to appeal his conviction of aggravated robbery. Finding
that Appellant has not timely filed his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction.
A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction. Olivo v. State,
918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996). The information provided to the Court reflects that
sentence was imposed in open court on October 20, 2004. Appellant did not file a motion for
new trial. Therefore, his notice of appeal was due to be filed on November 19, 2004, thirty days
after the date sentence was imposed in open court. See TEX.R.APP.P. 26.2(a)(1). Appellant did
not file his notice of appeal until March 3, 2014, more than nine years after the deadline.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
