DARRELL ROBERTS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
Appeal from the
409th District Court
of El Paso County, Texas
(TC# 20030D01740)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darrell Roberts is attempting to appeal his conviction of aggravated 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 October 20, 2004. Appellant did not file a motion for new trial. Therefore, his notice of appeal was due to be filed on November 19, 2004, 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 March 3, 2014, more than nine years after the deadline. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
