THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 799847 MEMORANDUM OPINION After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of the offense of aggravated robbery and sentenced to ten years confinement on May 27, 1999. Appellant s notice of appeal was not filed until August 31, 2011. A defendant s notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after sentence is imposed when the defendant has not filed a motion for new trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A notice of appeal that complies with the requirements of Rule 26 is essential to vest the court of appeals with jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). If an appeal is not timely perfected, a court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address the merits of the appeal. Under those circumstances it can take no action other than to dismiss the appeal. Id. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Frost, Seymore, and Jamison. Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
