                                                    Appellee

                        From the 341st Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas

PER CURIAM

Sitting:            Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION

           This is an appeal from one count of murder. Appellant was convicted by jury trial on July

24, 1989. The written judgment states the sentence was imposed on July 25, 1989.

           On August 3, 1989, Gonzalez’s counsel filed a notice of appeal, and his appeal followed.

This court affirmed his conviction on April 24, 1991, in case number 04-89-00401-CR.

           On February 11, 2022, Appellant filed a notice of appeal, pro se, challenging his

conviction. On February 22, 2022, we ordered Appellant to show cause why his appeal should not

be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 2 To date, this court has not received a response to the order

to show cause. Even if we consider the current notice of appeal as an untimely motion for rehearing

from the opinion in 04-89-00401-CR, this court’s plenary power from that appeal expired on June

24, 1991. See TEX. R. APP. P. 19.1; Rodriguez v. State, 28 S.W.3d 25, 26 (Tex. App.—Houston

[1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.). We now dismiss the purported appeal for want of jurisdiction.

 A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke a court of appeals’ jurisdiction. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519,
