Matthew WHITE, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014CR8425B
Honorable Ray Olivarri, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The trial court imposed sentence on May 27, 2015, and appellant did not file a motion for new trial. Because appellant did not file a timely motion for new trial, the deadline for filing a notice of appeal was June 26, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A notice of appeal was not filed until November 12, 2015, and appellant did not [timely] file a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See id. R. 26.3.
We therefore order appellant to file a written response in this court on or before December 21, 2015 showing cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (holding that timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke court of appeals' jurisdiction).
If appellant fails to satisfactorily respond within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. If a supplemental clerk's record is required to show jurisdiction, appellant must ask the trial court clerk to prepare one and must notify the clerk of this court that such a request was made. All deadlines in this matter are suspended until further order of the court.
