The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2007-CR-4987 Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 1, 2008 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant was sentenced on June 30, 2008. Because appellant did not file a timely motion for new trial, his notice of appeal was due to be filed on July 30, 2008. See TEX . R. APP . P. 26.2(a). Appellant filed a notice of appeal in this court on July 28, 2008; however, he failed to file his notice of appeal with the trial court. See Douglas v. State, 987 S.W.2d 605, 605 & n.2. (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.) (dismissing appeal where notice of appeal was timely filed in appellate court but not in trial court and noting rule 25.1 contains saving provision for notices of 04-08-00568-CR appeals mistakenly filed in appellate courts but only applies to appeals in civil cases). On August 4, 2008, appellant timely filed a motion requesting an extension of time to file his notice of appeal; however, he never filed his notice of appeal with the trial court. On August 26, 2008, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (out-of-time appeal from final felony conviction may be sought by filing a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure). Appellant failed to respond to our order. This appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
