Josh McClendon III v. State

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
 

No. 10-03-006-CR

     JOSH McCLENDON III,
                                                                              Appellant
     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                                              Appellee
 

From the 77th District Court
Limestone County, Texas
Trial Court # 9054-A
                                                                                                                

MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                                                                                                

      The court revoked Josh McClendon, III’s community supervision for burglary of a habitation
on March 21, 2002 and imposed the original sentence of ten years’ imprisonment.  McClendon
filed a pro se notice of appeal on September 11.
      Because McClendon did not file a motion for new trial, his notice of appeal was due on
Monday, April 22, 2002.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).  “If an appeal is not timely perfected,
a court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address the merits of the appeal.”  Slaton v. State,
981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Fowler v. State, 16 S.W.3d 426, 428 (Tex.
App.—Waco 2000, pet. ref’d).  McClendon did not timely perfect his appeal.  Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
