DISMISS; and Opinion Filed July 15, 2019.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00534-CV
ADOLFO ALEMAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-0939129
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Reichek
Opinion by Justice Osborne
After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal
as it appeared the notice of appeal was untimely. We instructed appellant to file, by June 17,
2019, a letter brief addressing our concern. We cautioned him that failure to comply may result
in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not
responded.
Without a timely post-judgment motion extending the appellate timetable, a notice of
appeal is due thirty days after the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. Without
a timely notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See id. 25.1(b).
Appellant appeals from the trial court’s order on inmate fees signed on April 19, 2010.
Appellant filed his notice of appeal on March 8, 2019, almost nine years after the date the order
was signed. Because appellant failed to timely appeal, we dismiss this appeal for want of
jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a).
