Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 8, 2016. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00112-CR CORINTHIAN HARRIS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 14 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2020959 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant attempts to appeal a conviction for failure to stop and give information. The trial court sentenced appellant to 180 days in the Harris County Jail, probated for one year, on September 10, 2015. A timely motion for new trial was filed. Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed until February 3, 2016. A defendant’s notice of appeal must be filed within 90 days after sentence is imposed when the defendant has filed a timely motion for new trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). 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, the court can take no action other than to dismiss the appeal. Id. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and Wise. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
