COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Joe Feijoo attempts to appeal his conviction of attempted murder.  Finding that Appellant did not timely file his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction.  Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996).  The record before us reflects that sentence was imposed in open court on July 28, 1993.  Appellant filed an untimely motion for new trial on September 26, 2011.  Therefore, his notice of appeal was due to be filed August 27, 1993, thirty days after the date sentence was imposed in open court.  See Tex.R.App.P. 26.2(a)(1).  Appellant’s notice of appeal filed on January 10, 2012 is untimely.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
