SHAUN FITZPATRICK,
                                                            Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                            Appellee


                          From the 361st District Court
                              Brazos County, Texas
                        Trial Court No. 13-02709-CRF-361


                           MEMORANDUM OPINION


      Shaun Fitzpatrick appeals the trial court’s judgment of conviction which he

contends was signed on May 4, 2016. Fitzpatrick was required to file a notice of appeal

within 30 days of the date he was sentenced in open court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1).

His notice of appeal filed here on October 20, 2016 is untimely. We have no jurisdiction

of an untimely appeal, and this appeal must be dismissed. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519,

522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely).
        Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. 1
