Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-25-00114-CR

Jesse Lee Drones, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

On appeal from the 278th District Court of Walker County, Texas Judge Erwin Ernst, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 20,028-C JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Jesse Lee Drones appeals from a judgment of conviction imposed and signed by the trial court on May 22, 2002.

This Court informed Drones by letter from the Clerk dated April 14, 2025, that it appears that the notice of appeal was untimely. The Clerk further informed Willis that the appeal would be dismissed unless a response was filed showing grounds to continue the appeal no later than April 28, 2025.

Drones did not respond to the Clerk’s letter. We find that the notice of appeal was not timely. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2.

STEVE SMITH Justice OPINION DELIVERED and FILED: May 8, 2025 Before Chief Justice Johnson, Justice Smith, and Justice Harris Dismissed Do not publish CR25
