Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo

No. 07-20-00070-CR

GREGORY ARELLANO, APPELLANT V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 64th District Court Hale County, Texas

Trial Court No. A20048-1509, Honorable Robert W. Kinkaid, Jr., Presiding

April 3, 2020

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE and PARKER, JJ.

Gregory Arellano was convicted of evading arrest or detention using a vehicle.

Following the conviction, his trial counsel moved to withdraw and filed a “Notice” with the trial court clerk stating the deadline to file a notice of appeal. The “Notice” was forwarded to this Court by the trial court clerk as a notice of appeal.

Because the “Notice” did not show Arellano’s desire to appeal from the judgment, we directed trial counsel to show how we have jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(c)(2). Counsel advised that the “Notice” was not intended as a notice of

appeal. No other documents were filed by Arellano indicating a bona fide attempt to invoke this Court's jurisdiction. See Few v. State, 230 S.W.3d 184, 189 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
