RONNIE EARL RICKS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 9th District Court
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 11-07-07433 CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 24, 2012, Ronnie Earl Ricks filed a notice of appeal from a sentence imposed on February 23, 2012. The notice of appeal was filed with the trial court more than thirty days from the date of sentencing and outside the time for requesting an extension of time for filing the notice of appeal. We notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that a notice of appeal was timely filed.
The Court finds that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2. No motion for extension of time was timely filed pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. It does not appear that the appellant obtained an out-of-time appeal from the Court of Criminal Appeals. The Court finds it is without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
