In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-03-00732-CR
TERRANCE JERAMINE BUNDAGE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 230th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 924,750
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of the offense of murder and sentenced to 18 years= confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice B Institutional Division on February 6, 2003. A timely motion for new trial was filed. Appellant=s notice of appeal was not filed until June 20, 2003.
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.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
