MILTON LEE GARDNER, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the Mexia Municipal Court
Limestone County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 112618, 112619, 130068, 130979,
131012, 131018, 131019, and 131162
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Milton Lee Gardner filed notices of appeal with this Court on October 4, 2013 regarding eight separate traffic offenses to which he pled guilty in the municipal court in July of 2013. Even if this Court had jurisdiction of direct appeals of traffic offenses, which we do not, see TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. arts. 4.03; 45.042(a) (West 2006 & Supp. 2012) (generally, appeals from a justice or municipal court are to the county court, not the court of appeals), we have no jurisdiction because Gardner's notices of appeal are untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no jurisdiction where the notice of appeal is untimely).
Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed.
A motion for rehearing may be filed within 15 days after the judgment or order of this Court is rendered. TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. If the appellant desires to have the decision of this Court reviewed by the Court of Criminal Appeals, a petition for discretionary review must be filed in the Court of Criminal Appeals within 30 days after either the day the Court of Appeals' judgment was rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing was overruled by the Court of Appeals. TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(a).
