MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-10-00162-CR

Antonio OLVEDA, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2008CR8045 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 10, 2010

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

The trial court imposed sentence in the underlying cause on September 28, 2009. No timely

motion for new trial having been filed, appellant’s notice of appeal was due to be filed no later than

October 28, 2009. See TEX . R. APP . P. 26.2. Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed with the trial

court clerk until February 16, 2010. This court lacks jurisdiction over an appeal of a criminal

conviction in the absence of a timely, written notice of appeal. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519,

522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); see also Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. 04-10-00162-CR

App. 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); Apt v. State, No. 04-03-

00885-CR, 2004 WL 730832, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Apr. 7, 2004, no pet.) (unlike rule in

civil cases, notice of appeal filed with appellate court in criminal case is not deemed filed the same

day with the trial court clerk) (not designated for publication). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed

for lack of jurisdiction.
