Ex Parte Leo Thompson v. the State of Texas
Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-24-00094-CR EX PARTE LEO THOMPSON
From the 413th District Court Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. DC-F202300729
MEMORANDUM OPINION Leo Thompson appeals the trial court’s denial of Thompson’s pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus and motion to quash the indictment. The trial court’s order, containing its ruling on both the writ of habeas corpus application and the motion to quash, was signed on January 24, 2024. Thompson’s notice of appeal was due on February 23, 2024. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). It was not filed until April 1, 2024.
We have found nothing in the record that supports Thompson's assertion in his response to the Court's dismissal notice to Thompson, dated May 14, 2024, that a notice of appeal was filed with the trial court clerk on February 7, 2024 or on any other date that would make Thompson’s appeal of the January 24, 2024 denial of an application for a writ of habeas corpus timely. The only notice of appeal this Court received was on March 2024. It appears a copy of that notice of appeal was filed in the trial court on April 1, 2024 and then forwarded to this Court. Thus, by either date, the notice of appeal is untimely.
We have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
