Clarence Lynn Campbell v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-26-00092-CR

Clarence Lynn CAMPBELL, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023CR0175-02 Honorable Jennifer Peña, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 18, 2026

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Appellant attempts to appeal his conviction for aggravated assault causing serious bodily

injury. “A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke” appellate jurisdiction. Taylor v. State,

424 S.W.3d 39, 43 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). “A defendant’s notice of appeal is timely if filed within

thirty days after the day sentence is imposed or suspended, or within ninety days after sentencing

if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial.” Id. (citing TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1)). 04-26-00092-CR

The trial court imposed the sentence on December 18, 2025. No motion for new trial was

filed; therefore, the notice of appeal was due by January 18, 2026. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A

motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due on or before February 2, 2026.

TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. The record reflects that appellant did not file a notice of appeal until February

3, 2026, and did not file a motion for extension of time to file his notice of appeal. We ordered

appellant to file a response explaining why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction. Appellant has not filed a response.

Because the notice of appeal is untimely, we must dismiss this appeal for lack of

jurisdiction. Taylor, 424 S.W.3d at 43; Castillo v. State, 369 S.W.3d 196, 198 (Tex. Crim. App.

2012).
