                                                              V.

                                      STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                  On Appeal from the 32nd District Court

                                                Fisher County, Texas

                                            Trial Court Cause No. 3383

                                   MEMORANDUM                           OPINION
        Anthony Paul DelaCruz1 was convicted of the offense of aggravated sexual assault of an
elderly person. On August 4, 2010, the trial court sentenced him in open court to confinement
for fifty years pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. We dismiss the appeal.
        A motion for new trial was not filed. Therefore, the notice of appeal was due to be filed
within thirty days of the date the sentence was imposed in open court in order to timely perfect
an appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2. Appellant filed his pro se notice of appeal on September 16,

2010, forty-three days after the date the sentence was imposed in open court. A motion to extend
time was not filed pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Absent a timely notice of appeal or the
granting of a timely motion for extension of time, this court does not have 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).
       Moreover, we note that the trial court stated in its certification of defendant’s right to
appeal that this was a plea bargain agreement case and appellant had no right to appeal and that
appellant had waived his right to appeal.
       The appeal is dismissed.
