Victor Dean Adkins v. State
Victor Dean Adkins v. State
Opinion
On July 3, 1997, Victor Dean Adkins was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child after pleading guilty. Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the district court sentenced Adkins to imprisonment for ten years.
On March 26, 2001, Adkins filed a pro se notice of appeal from the district court's overruling of a motion to vacate the conviction. It is far too late for Adkins to either request a new trial from the district court or to appeal his conviction to this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.4, 26.2. If he is entitled to relief, he must seek it by way of post-conviction habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2001).
The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
