BRUCE BERNARD ANDERS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Opinion By Justice Moseley
On February 28, 1993, Bruce Bernard Anders was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to thirty-eight years' imprisonment. That conviction was affirmed. See Anders v. State, No. 05–93–00346–CR (Tex.App.—Dallas Feb. 21, 1997, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication). In November 2011, appellant filed an “out-of-time motion for new trial,” and on December 9, 2011, he filed a notice of appeal from the judgment of conviction and sentence. The December 9, 2011 notice of appeal is untimely as to the February 28, 1993 sentencing date, see Tex.R.App. P. 26.2(a)(1), leaving 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.
Tex.R.App. P. 47
120009F.U05
