Sonya Elaine HICKMON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021CR2962 Honorable Stephanie R. Boyd, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
On November 7, 2024, Appellant Sonya Elaine Hickmon filed a notice of appeal from a judgment revoking her community supervision. The trial court's judgment was pronounced on June 24, 2024.
To invoke this court's appellate jurisdiction, a timely notice of appeal is required. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Absent a timely motion for new trial, a defendant's notice of appeal is timely filed if it is filed within thirty days after (1) the day sentence is imposed or suspended in open court, or (2) the day the trial court enters an appealable order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2; Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 522. Here, Appellant's notice of appeal was filed more than four months after the trial court imposed its sentence and entered its judgment.
We order Appellant to show cause in writing within twenty days of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 522. If Appellant fails to respond as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed without further notice. See Tex. R App. P. 42.3(c).
All other appellate deadlines are suspended pending further order of this court.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 25th day of November, 2024.
