Blair Duane Wright, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Blair Duane Wright seeks to appeal a judgment of conviction for failing to appear. Sentence was imposed on February 20, 2009. Notice of appeal was filed on June 16, 2010. Because the notice of appeal was not timely, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App. P. 26.2(a)(1)/(2); Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex.Crim.App.1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex.Crim.App.1996).
The appeal is dismissed.
J. Woodfin Jones, Chief Justice
