JUAN MATA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 268th District Court

Fort Bend County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 32,956A

O P I N I O N

We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. Appellant was sentenced in this case on February 20, 2001. A motion for new trial and an "out of time notice of appeal" were filed on March 25, 2002.

The deadline for filing notice of appeal is 30 days after the day sentence is imposed, or 90 days if a motion for new trial is timely filed no later than 30 days after sentencing. Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a). Notice of appeal was filed in this case more than one year after the deadline.

We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

All pending motions are denied as moot.

It is so ORDERED.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Cohen, Nuchia, and Wilson. ⁽¹⁾
