MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00304-CR
Gary A. CAMPBELL,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2006-CR-2859
Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 5, 2012
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Gary Campbell pled no contest to a felony and on August 4, 2008, the trial court
sentenced him in accordance with the terms of his plea bargain agreement. Campbell did not file
a motion for new trial. The deadline for filing a notice of appeal was therefore September 3,
2008. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). Campbell filed his notice of appeal in the trial court on
May 15, 2012.
04-12-00304-CR
We subsequently issued an order advising Campbell that his notice of appeal appeared to
be untimely and directing him to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed
for want of jurisdiction. Both Campbell and his court-appointed attorney responded; the
responses, however, fail to state a basis on which this court may accept jurisdiction of the appeal.
Because the notice of appeal in this case was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction to
entertain the appeal. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); see also
Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (explaining that writ of
habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure governs out-of-
time appeals from felony convictions). Moreover, the notice of appeal fails to specify one of the
allowable bases for appealing a plea-bargained felony conviction and thus fails to comply with
Rule 25.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The court would therefore have no
jurisdiction over the appeal even if the notice of appeal had been timely filed. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2), (d); White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). Accordingly, we dismiss
this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
