MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Adan Martinez attempts to appeal from his conviction and fifteen-year
sentence for aggravated kidnapping.
The trial court sentenced appellant on October 17, 2011. Because
appellant did not file a motion for new trial, his notice of appeal was due
November 16, 2011. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Appellant did not file a
notice of appeal until February 1, 2013 (which he mailed on January 28, 2013).

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

We have received no response to our February 5, 2013 inquiry regarding
jurisdiction.
Because appellant did not timely invoke the jurisdiction of this court,2 we
dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Olivo v.
State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522–23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

Even if appellant’s notice of appeal had been timely, the trial court’s
certification of his right to appeal correctly states that this “is a plea-bargain case,
and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).
