V.
THE S TATE OF TEXAS , Appellee

On Appeal from the 104th District Court Tayl or County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 20738B

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N Brady Aaron Wyatt
, Appellant, has filed a n untimely pro se notice of appeal
from a conviction for the offense of aggravated sexual assault of a child

. We dismiss the appeal.
The documents on file in th is appeal indicate that Appellant’s sentence was imposed on January 11, 2018
, and that h is notice of appeal was filed in the district
clerk’s office on December 17, 2018

. When the appeal w as filed in this court, we2 notified Appellant by letter that the notice of appeal appeared to be untimely and that the appeal may be dismissed. We also noted that the trial court had certified
that this was a plea

- bargain case in which Appellant had no right of appea l. We requested that Appellant respond to our letter and show grounds to continue

. Appellant has filed a response in which he presents numerous substantive issues related to the merits of his case, but he has not shown grounds upon which this appeal may continue

. P ursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure
, a notice of appeal is due to be filed either (1) wit hin thirty days after the date that sentence is imposed in open court or (2) if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial, within ninety days after the date that sentence is imposed in open court. T EX

. P. 2 6 .2( a ). A notice of appeal must be in writing and filed with the clerk of the trial court. T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(c)(1 ) . The documents on file in this court re flect that Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed with the clerk of the trial court 340 days after sentence

w as imposed

. The notice of appeal was therefore untimely. Absent a timely filed notice of appeal or the granting of a timely motion for extension of time, we do not have jurisdiction to entertain th is appeal. Slaton v.
State , 981 S.W.2d 208 , 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 19 98); Olivo v. State , 918 S.W.2d 519
, 522

– 23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Rodarte v. State , 860 S.W.2d 108 , 110 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993). Moreover, the trial court’s certification reflects that this is a plea

bargain case and that Appellant ha s no right of appeal . Thus, even if A ppellant had timely perfected an appeal, the appeal would have been prohibited by Rule 25.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure , which provides that an appellate court must dismiss an appeal without further action when there is no c ertification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal.
