Jeremy Teak Palmer, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee (2016)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Jeremy Teak Palmer has filed a notice of appeal from a judgment of conviction for driving while intoxicated with two or more previous convictions for the same type of offense. The district court imposed sentence on June 8, 2015. Thus, the deadline for perfecting the appeal was July 8, 2015. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Palmer filed his notice of appeal on October 6, 2016. Absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of this appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.¹

FOOTNOTES

1.   The remedy for a late-filed notice of appeal is to file a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus returnable to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for consideration of an out-of-time appeal. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07.
