Mark Green v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00864-CR

Mark Green, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-10-904077, HONORABLE CHARLES F. BAIRD, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Mark Green seeks to appeal a judgment of conviction for the offense

of evading arrest. Sentence was imposed in open court on September 21, 2010, and no motion

for new trial was filed. Accordingly, Green had 30 days to file his notice of appeal. See Tex. R.

App. P. 26.2(a)(1). However, his notice of appeal was not filed until December 8, 2010. Under

the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other

than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim.

App.1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). The appeal is dismissed.
