S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-01602-CR

RODDY MICHAEL MORA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 380-82914-06

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Francis A jury found Roddy Michael Mora guilty of three counts of aggravated sexual assault of

a child and three counts of indecency with a child by contact. The trial court assessed

punishment at fifteen years in prison on each count. Sentence was imposed in open court on

September 14, 2012. The documents before this Court do not reflect that a motion for new trial

was filed; therefore, appellant’s notice of appeal was due by Monday, October 15, 2012. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant’s December 19, 2014 notice of appeal is untimely,

leaving us without jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522–23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
