KWAKU OWIRODU, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
DISMISS;
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court No. 11
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. MA11-04764-N
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Murphy, and Fillmore
Opinion By Justice FitzGerald
Kwaku Owirodu was convicted of assault involving family violence. Punishment was assessed at 365 days' confinement in jail and was imposed in open court on February 1, 2012. No motion for new trial was filed; therefore, appellant's notice of appeal was due by March 2, 2012. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Appellant filed his notice of appeal on March 26, 2012, outside both the thirty-day period provided by rule 26.2(a)(1) and the fifteen-day extension period provided by rule 26.3. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Appellant's untimely notice of appeal leaves us without jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
