Sebastian Huerta v. State
Sebastian Huerta v. State
Opinion
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice
Sarah B. Duncan, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 20, 2002
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Sebastian Huerta pled nolo contendere to aggravated robbery and was sentenced in accordance with the terms of his plea bargain agreement. Huerta filed a general notice of appeal from the trial court's judgment.
To invoke the court's jurisdiction over this appeal, Rule 25.2(b)(3) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure requires that the notice of appeal state the appeal is from a jurisdictional defect, the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial, or the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3); Young v. State, 8 S.W.3d 656, 666-67 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); see State v. Riewe, 13 S.W.3d 408 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). Appellant's general notice of appeal did not meet any of these conditions.
Because Huerta's general notice of appeal did not comply with Rule 25.2(b)(3), this court does not have jurisdiction over the appeal. See White v. State No. 123-01, 2001 WL 1539153 (Tex. Crim. App. Dec. 5, 2001); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
