EX PARTE KEITH ALLEN CATER


From the County Court at Law Walker County, Texas
Trial Court No. 16-0329

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Keith Allen Cater appeals the trial court's order, signed on June 27, 2017, denying his pretrial writ of habeas corpus application. Cater was required to file his notice of appeal within 30 days after the day the trial court rendered the order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). His notice of appeal filed on August 1, 2017 is therefore untimely. See id. We have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal, and this appeal must be dismissed. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely).

Notwithstanding that we are dismissing this appeal, Cater may file a motion for rehearing with this Court within 15 days after this opinion and judgment are rendered if he believes this opinion and judgment are erroneously based on inaccurate information or documents. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. Moreover, if Cater desires to have the opinion and judgment of this Court reviewed by filing a petition for discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals within 30 days after either the day this Court's judgment is rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(a).

For the reasons stated, this appeal is dismissed.
