Stephanie WOOLRIDGE,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2001-CR-4673B
Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 23, 2003
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed sentence on February 26, 2003. Because appellant did not file a motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on March 28, 2003. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due on April 14, 2003. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Appellant did not file a motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal, and she filed her notice of appeal on April 28, 2003.
On May 27, 2003, we ordered appellant to show cause why her appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not file a response. This court lacks jurisdiction over an appeal of a criminal conviction in the absence of a timely, written notice of appeal. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96, 97 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988); see also Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (out-of-time appeal from felony conviction may be sought by filing a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 11.07). This appeal is therefore dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
