EX PARTE JOSE J. LOPEZ

From the 85th District Court Brazos County, Texas

Trial Court No. 10-01439-CRF-85-A

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On December 9, 2014, appellant, Jose J. Lopez, filed his notice of appeal, challenging the trial court’s denial of his application for post-conviction writ of habeas corpus under article 11.072, section 6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.072, § 6 (West Supp. 2014). The record reflects that the trial court denied appellant’s habeas-corpus application on November 5, 2014. Appellant’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) (noting that we have no appellate jurisdiction where the notice of appeal is untimely).

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.).
