EX PARTE PORCHE CURTIS

From the 82nd District Court Robertson County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 22-11-21792-CR, 22-11-21793-CR, and 22-11-21794-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Porche Curtis appeals the trial court’s denials of Curtis’s three applications for writ

of habeas corpus, each signed by the trial court on February 13, 2023. According to the

information included in Curtis’s docketing statements for each case, nothing was filed to

extend the time in which to file the notices of appeal. Thus, Curtis's notices of appeal

were due on March 15, 2023. Because the notices of appeal were not filed until April 3,

2023, they are untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1).

We have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519,

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

Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed.
