MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nos. 04-10-00909-CR & 04-10-00910-CR
John Carroll WALSH,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 9, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 316977 & 317712
Honorable Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 9, 2011
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed sentence on February 18, 2010. Because appellant did not file a
motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on March 22, 2010. TEX. R. APP. P.
26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due on April 6, 2010.
TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until December 22, 2010;
appellant did not file a motion for extension of time. This court issued an order on January 6,
04-10-00909-CR & 04-10-00910-CR
2011 directing appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond.
When a notice of appeal and motion for extension of time are not filed within the fifteen-
day grace period, the appellate court lacks jurisdiction. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3; 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, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (out-of-time appeal from final felony conviction may be sought
by filing a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure). Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
