Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-26-00179-CR Jesus Torres VELA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-CR-007873 Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 30, 2026 DISMISSED Jesus Torres Vela was convicted of possession of substance penalty group 1 or 1-B less than one gram, a state jail felony. TEX. PENAL CODE § 481.115(b). On March 4, 2026, Vela filed his notice of appeal. After failing to timely file his brief or respond to our orders, this Court abated the appeal and ordered the trial court to determine whether appellant desired to prosecute this appeal. 04-26-00179-CR A supplemental clerk’s record was filed on August 18, 2026, containing the trial court’s findings. The trial court made findings that Vela served his 120-day sentence in the Bexar County Jail, which was satisfied on February 18, 2026. Upon Vela’s release, he was apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, cannot be located, and that under these circumstances, Vela abandoned his appeal. Based upon the trial court’s findings that Vela abandoned his appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
