PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice

Velia J. Meza, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 19, 2026 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION The trial court imposed the appellant’s sentence on May 12, 2026. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial, so his notice of appeal was due on June 11, 2026. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due by June 26, 2026. See id. R. 26.3. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on June 30, 2026, and he filed no motion for extension of time.

04-26-00528-CR

A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke our appellate jurisdiction. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). A late notice of appeal may be considered timely so as to invoke our jurisdiction if (1) it is filed within fifteen days of the last day allowed for filing, (2) a motion for extension of time is filed in this court within fifteen days of the last day allowed for filing the notice of appeal, and (3) we grant the motion for extension of time. Id. “When a notice of appeal is filed within the fifteen-day period but no timely motion for extension of time is filed, the appellate court lacks jurisdiction.” Id.

We ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
