Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-24-00401-CR No. 10-24-00402-CR

CARL RANDALL ROPOLLO, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 82nd District Court Falls County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 11330 and 11331

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On December 18, 2024, Carl Ropollo filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s

judgment of conviction in each of these cases. Sentence was imposed in each case on

March 14, 2024. Ropollo’s notices of appeal are therefore untimely, and we have no

jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d

519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is

untimely). For the reasons stated, these appeals are dismissed. Notwithstanding that we are dismissing these appeals, Ropollo may file a motion

for rehearing with this Court within fifteen days after the judgment of this Court is

rendered. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. If Ropollo desires to have the decision of this Court

reviewed by filing a petition for discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the

Court of Criminal Appeals within thirty days after either the day this Court’s judgment

is rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court. See

id. R. 68.2(a).
