Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-13-00271-CR FREDERICK LOUIS PITTS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 85th District Court Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 08-03413-CRF-85

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 9, 2013, Frederick Pitts filed a pro se notice of appeal and a pauper’s oath requesting appointment of counsel and a free record. Pitts’s imposition of sentence was on April 11, 2012 and the judgments of conviction were signed on May 11, 2012.

His notice of appeal is untimely, and we have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely).

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.1
