RICHARD NEWBERRY, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.


Appeal from 171st District Court of El Paso County, Texas
(TC # 20050D04949)
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Richard Newberry is attempting to appeal his conviction of robbery. Finding that Appellant has not timely filed his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke this Court's jurisdiction. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996). The information provided to the Court reflects that sentence was imposed in open court on April 13, 2006. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial. Therefore, his notice of appeal was due to be filed on May 13, 2006, thirty days after the date sentence was imposed in open court. See TEX.R.APP.P. 26.2(a)(1). Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until September 2, 2014, more than eight years after the deadline. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. October 22, 2014
