On Appeal from the Criminal District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F08-59294-H.

Before Justices MORRIS, MOSELEY, and LANG.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Martin Glen Bridges was convicted of assault involving family violence, having a prior conviction for family violence assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(2), (b)(2)(A) (Vernon Supp. 2009). Punishment, following the revocation of his community supervision, was assessed at three years' imprisonment and a $1500 fine. Sentence was imposed in open court on September 29, 2009. No timely motion for new trial was filed; therefore, appellant's notice of appeal was due by October 29, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). Appellant filed a pro se motion for new trial and notice of appeal on April 22, 2010. Because the notice of appeal is untimely, we are without jurisdiction over the appeal. 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.). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
