THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

_________________________________

FROM THE 320TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;

NO. 54,470-D; HON. DON EMERSON, PRESIDING

_______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
 
MEMORANDUM OPINION
          Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant, Carl Van Johnson, was convicted of burglary
of a habitation and sentenced to 20 years incarceration in the Institutional Division of the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal in which he
requested appointment of appellate counsel.  We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
          Appellant’s sentence was imposed on January 7, 2008.  His notice of appeal

 bears
a file stamp date from the District Clerk of July 21, 2008.  Unless certain post-judgment
motions are filed, a defendant must file a written notice of appeal with the trial court clerk
within 30 days after the date sentence is imposed.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a).  The Texas
Rules of Appellate Procedure provide for a 15-day extension in which to file a notice of
appeal if it is accompanied by a motion for extension of time.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.  This
Court is without jurisdiction to address the merits of an appeal and can take no action other
than to dismiss the appeal if it is not timely perfected.  See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d
208, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998).  Appellant’s notice, which was filed more than seven
months after sentence was imposed, is untimely and does not invoke our jurisdiction.
          Accordingly, the purported appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
