IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
RICKEY T. TERRY, § APPEAL FROM THE 114TH
APPELLANT
V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
This appeal is being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant was convicted of the offense of driving while intoxicated (third offense), and punishment was imposed in open court on May 12, 2006. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial. Consequently, Appellant’s notice of appeal was due on June 11, 2006. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). However, Appellant filed his notice of appeal on July 10, 2006. Contemporaneously with his notice of appeal, Appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his notice of appeal.
An appellate court may extend the time to file the notice of appeal if, within 15 days after the deadline for filing the notice of appeal, the party files the notice of appeal in the trial court and files in the appellate court a motion complying with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b). In this case, Appellant's motion for extension of time was due to have been filed on or before June 26, 2006. Because Appellant's notice of appeal and his motion for extension of time were filed on July 10, 2006, the notice of appeal and the motion are untimely, which leaves us without jurisdiction over the appeal. Furthermore, this Court has no authority to allow the late filing of a notice of appeal except as provided by Rule 26.3. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998, no pet.). Accordingly, Appellant's motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal is overruled, and this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Opinion delivered July 12, 2006.
