TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-16-00676-CR
Jeremy Teak Palmer, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. CR2013-250, HONORABLE R. BRUCE BOYER, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Jeremy Teak Palmer has filed a notice of appeal from a judgment of
conviction for driving while intoxicated with two or more previous convictions for the same type
of offense. The district court imposed sentence on June 8, 2015. Thus, the deadline for perfecting
the appeal was July 8, 2015. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Palmer filed his notice of appeal on
October 6, 2016. Absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of this appeal
in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208,
210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App.
1996). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.1

The remedy for a late-filed notice of appeal is to file a post-conviction writ of habeas
corpus returnable to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for consideration of an out-of-time appeal.
See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07.
