STEVEN GARRETT STONE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Dismiss and Opinion Filed July 17, 2013.
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 219-82000-2011
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Lang
Steven Garrett Stone was convicted of possession of a controlled substance in an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. Sentence of two years' imprisonment was imposed in open court on October 3, 2012. Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial; therefore, his notice of appeal was due by January 2, 2013. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(2). Appellant's July 3, 2013 notice of appeal is untimely, leaving us without jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
