PHILLIP RODNEY NICHOLS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 0518262
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Phillip Rodney Nichols appeals from the trial court's order garnishing his inmate trust fund for payment of court costs. The order was signed April 3, 2006. Nichols did not file a motion for new trial. His notice of appeal was filed March 12, 2007.

According to Rule 26.1, Nichols had thirty days after the day the order was signed to file a notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. Therefore, Nichols had until May 3, 2006, to file a notice of appeal. Hence, this appeal is untimely and we are without jurisdiction to hear this case.

We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
