Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-24-00868-CR Brett Hall RING, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023CR10265 Honorable Frank J. Castro, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Delivered and Filed: February 19, 2025 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke the jurisdiction of a court of appeals.

Taylor v. State, 424 S.W.3d 39, 43 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). “A defendant’s notice of appeal is timely if filed within thirty days after the day sentence is imposed or suspended, or within ninety days after sentencing if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial.” Id. (citing TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1)).

The trial court imposed sentence in the underlying cause on February 7, 2024. Because appellant did not file a motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on March 8, 04-24-00868-CR

2024. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due on March 25, 2024. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Appellant, however, did not file his notice of appeal until December 19, 2024, and appellant did not file a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal. Thus, appellant’s notice of appeal is untimely.

On January 6, 2025, we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. To date, appellant has not responded to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
