Michael Bader v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-99-00014-CR Michael Bader, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF TRAVIS COUNTY

NO. 508348, HONORABLE DAVID CRAIN, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for criminal trespass. Sentence was imposed on October 28, 1998. The deadline for either requesting a new trial or perfecting appeal was therefore November 27, 1998. Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(1). Both a motion for new trial and notice of appeal were filed on December 1, 1998. Because the motion for new trial was untimely, it did not extend the time for perfecting appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. There is no indication that notice of appeal was properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). 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, No. 475-98 (Tex. Crim. App. Jan. 12, 1999); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

The appeal is dismissed.
