CHRISTINA RENEA FARRIS A/K/A APPELLANT CHRISTINA RENEA ESCARENO

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

----------

FROM THE 396TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Appellant Christina Renea Farris a/k/a Christina Renea Escareno attempts

to appeal a May 10, 2013 judgment adjudicating her guilt for arson. Her notice of

appeal was due in June 2013, but was not filed until October; therefore, it is

untimely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a), 26.3.

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. If a notice of appeal is not timely filed, the court of appeals has no option

but to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Castillo v. State, 369 S.W.3d

196, 198 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of

jurisdiction. 2 See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
