IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-17-00220-CR
FREDERICK LOUIS PITTS,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 85th District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 08-03413-CRF-85
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Frederick Louis Pitts was convicted of two counts of sexual assault of a child in
2012. His subsequent appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction because his notice of
appeal was untimely. See Pitts v. State, No. 10-13-00271-CR, 2013 Tex. App. LEXIS 10613
(Tex. App.—Waco Aug. 22, 2013, no pet.) (not designated for publication). His next
appeal was dismissed because we lacked jurisdiction to grant an out-of-time appeal as
Pitts requested. See Pitts v. State, No. 10-16-00026-CR, 2016 Tex. App. LEXIS 903 (Tex.
App.—Waco Jan. 28, 2016, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication).
Pitts has now filed another appeal of his 2012 convictions. His notice of appeal is
untimely, and we have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1);
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
