PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Velia J. Meza, Justice
Delivered and Filed: August 19, 2026
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed the appellantโs sentence on May 12, 2026. Appellant did not file a
motion for new trial, so his notice of appeal was due on June 11, 2026. See TEX. R. APP. P.
26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due by June 26, 2026.
See id. R. 26.3. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on June 30, 2026, and he filed no motion for
extension of time.
04-26-00528-CR
A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke our appellate jurisdiction. Olivo v. State,
918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). A late notice of appeal may be considered timely
so as to invoke our jurisdiction if (1) it is filed within fifteen days of the last day allowed for filing,
(2) a motion for extension of time is filed in this court within fifteen days of the last day allowed
for filing the notice of appeal, and (3) we grant the motion for extension of time. Id. โWhen a
notice of appeal is filed within the fifteen-day period but no timely motion for extension of time is
filed, the appellate court lacks jurisdiction.โ Id.
We ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
