Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-14-00108-CR

DAN DANIEL, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 87th District Court Freestone County, Texas Trial Court No. 13-022-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 16, 2014, Dan Daniel filed a pro se notice of appeal of his conviction for

aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Daniel’s imposition of sentence was on

October 29, 2013, and the judgment of conviction was signed the same day. Daniel’s

notice of appeal is untimely, and we have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no

appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely).

Daniel also signed a waiver of his right to appeal in this case, and the trial court’s certification of defendant’s right to appeal in this case indicates that Daniel waived his

right to appeal. This appeal is therefore dismissed.1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); Chavez v.

State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“A court of appeals … must dismiss a

prohibited appeal without further action, regardless of the basis for the appeal.”); Davis

v. State, 205 S.W.3d 606, 607 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, no pet.).
