            Marvin Ray Haile pleaded guilty on December 17, 2008, to the offense
of terroristic threat.  The trial court sentenced him to confinement for a term
of sixty days in jail.  We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
The
trial court imposed the sentence in open court on December 17, 2008.  Appellant
filed his pro se notice of appeal in the trial court on June 8, 2010, over
seventeen months after the date the sentence was imposed.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2 requires that a
notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the sentence is imposed
in open court or within ninety days after the sentence is imposed in open court
if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial.[1] 
Accordingly, the notice of appeal is not timely.[2] 
Furthermore, a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was not
filed in compliance with Tex. R. App. P.
26.3.  Absent a timely notice of appeal or compliance with Rule 26.3, this
court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an appeal.  Slaton v. State, 981
S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d
519, 522-24 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108, 109-10
(Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96, 97 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1988).
The
appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  All pending motions in this appeal
are overruled.
