Arturo Solorzano Medrano v. State
Arturo Solorzano Medrano v. State
Opinion
DISMISS; and Opinion Filed March 4, 2014.
S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00129-CR ARTURO SOLORZANO MEDRANO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F10-34786-S MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, O’Neill, and Brown Opinion by Justice O’Neill Arturo Solorzano Medrano was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen years of age. Sentence of twenty-five years’ imprisonment was imposed in open court on November 1, 2013. No motion for new trial was filed; therefore, appellant’s notice of appeal was due by Monday, December 2, 2013. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant’s pro se notice of appeal is file-stamped January 30, 2014. It reflects that it was signed on January 25, 2014, and the envelope in which it was mailed is post-marked January 27, 2014. The notice of appeal is untimely as to the November 1, 2013 sentencing date, leaving us without jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
