Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-17-00712-CR Walter Peterson HARDISON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2015CR4837 Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 6, 2017 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION The trial court imposed sentence on November 3, 2016. Because appellant did not file a motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on December 5, 2016. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due to be filed on December 20, 2016. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until October 25, 2017. Because appellant did not timely file a notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. We therefore ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant filed a written response, stating that he did not timely file the notice 04-17-00712-CR of appeal because (1) “his trial counsel did not provide appellant with the information necessary for appellant to file a notice of appeal,” and (2) “he was unaware of any deadlines for filing a notice of appeal.” Appellant’s response does not show that we have jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Do not publish -2-
