First District of Texas

DONJUAN CHARLES ORR, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1057884

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal.  The trial court deferred a finding of
guilt and placed appellant, Don Juan Charles Orr, on terms and conditions of
community service on December 6, 2006.  Appellant did not file a motion for new
trial, and therefore the deadline for filing a notice of appeal was January 30, 2007, 30
days after sentencing.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).  
	Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal on March 21, 2007, 75days after the
deadline.  An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest the appellate court with
jurisdiction to hear the case.  Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Douglas
v. State, 987 S.W.2d 605, 605-06 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.).
	We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
	All pending motions are denied as moot.
	It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
