MEMORANDUM OPINION
Judith Ann Blackard was convicted of criminal trespass. Punishment was assessed at a $200 fine, and was imposed in open court on January 14, 2009. No motion for new trial was filed; therefore, appellant's notice of appeal was due by February 13, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). Appellant filed her notice of appeal on February 18, 2009. Although the notice of appeal was filed within the fifteen-day period provided by rule of appellate procedure 26.3(a), appellant did not file a motion to extend time to file the notice of appeal in this Court within that same fifteen-day period. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998) (per curiam); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.). Because appellant's February 18, 2009 notice of appeal was untimely, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
