MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-10-00921-CR
David Cepeda JONES,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1994CR5367W
Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: January 26, 2011
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed sentence in the underlying cause on August 5, 1997. The notice
of appeal was due to be filed on September 4, 1997. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Appellant filed a
notice of appeal on November 30, 2010. A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke a court
of appeals’ jurisdiction. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
Because appellant failed to file a timely notice of appeal, this appeal is dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. See id.; see also Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. App.
04-10-00921-CR
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).
