NOS. 12-16-00267-CR 12-16-00268-CR 12-16-00269-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS TRACY RAY GIBSON, APPELLANT § APPEALS FROM THE 145TH V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM This appeal is being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant was convicted of three counts of robbery. In a criminal case, the notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after sentence is imposed or within ninety days after that date if a motion for new trial is filed. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Appellant’s sentence was imposed on April 5, 2016, and he did not file a motion for new trial. Therefore, his notice of appeal was due to have been filed no later than May 5, 2016. However, Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until September 21, 2016. Because Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed on or before May 5, 2016, it was untimely, and this Court has no jurisdiction of the appeal. On September 22, 2016, this Court notified Appellant, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 37.1 and 42.3, that his notice of appeal was untimely and there was no timely motion for an extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3. Appellant was further informed that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or before October 7, 2016, the information in this appeal was amended to show the jurisdiction of this Court. The October 7 deadline has passed, and Appellant has not shown the jurisdiction of this Court. Because this Court is not authorized to extend the time for perfecting an appeal except as provided by Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 26.1 and 26.3, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). Opinion delivered October 12, 2016. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
