ADOLFO ALEMAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-0939129
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Reichek
Opinion by Justice Osborne
After reviewing the clerk's record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal as it appeared the notice of appeal was untimely. We instructed appellant to file, by June 17, 2019, a letter brief addressing our concern. We cautioned him that failure to comply may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today's date, appellant has not responded.
Without a timely post-judgment motion extending the appellate timetable, a notice of appeal is due thirty days after the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. Without a timely notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See id. 25.1(b).
Appellant appeals from the trial court's order on inmate fees signed on April 19, 2010. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on March 8, 2019, almost nine years after the date the order was signed. Because appellant failed to timely appeal, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a).
