Fourteenth Court of Appeals
____________
NO. 14-05-01046-CR
BEATRICE MOORE a/k/a BEATRICE SANDERS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 174th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1030108
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
After a plea of guilty, appellant was convicted of the offense of theft $20,000-$100,000 (Supplemental Security Income) and sentenced on August 23, 2005, to 25 years= incarceration in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. No timely motion for new trial was filed. Appellant=s notice of appeal was not filed until October 3, 2005.
A defendant=s notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after sentence is imposed when the defendant has not filed a motion for new trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A notice of appeal which complies with the requirements of Rule 26 is essential to vest the court of appeals with jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). If an appeal is not timely perfected, a court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address the merits of the appeal. Under those circumstances it can take no action other than to dismiss the appeal. Id.
Additionally, the trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court=s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
