THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 95770 ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 2, 2014, Joe Frank Horace Sr.’s notice of appeal was filed in the trial court following the trial court’s October 10, 2014 order denying Horace’s post-conviction motion requesting DNA testing associated with his 2008 burglary conviction. We notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed. Horace filed a response but failed to establish that he filed a notice of appeal within the time permitted for perfecting his appeal. See Tex. R. 1 App. P. 26.2(a), 26.3. We lack jurisdiction to consider the merits of the appeal. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED. _________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Submitted on January 20, 2015 Opinion Delivered January 21, 2015 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ. 2
