     ANTHONY TRENT BARBOUR, Appellant

                          V.

         THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

    On Appeal from the 6th Judicial District Court
               Lamar County, Texas
               Trial Court No. 21634

     Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
      Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Anthony Trent Barbour appeals from his verdict of guilty for injury to a child. Barbour's

sentence of twenty years' imprisonment was imposed November 8, 2007. Based on the information

before us, Barbour did timely file a motion for new trial and his notice of appeal was filed

February 22, 2008.

       According to Rule 26.2, Barbour, because a motion for new trial was timely filed, had ninety

days after the day sentence was imposed to file a notice of appeal. See TEX . R. APP . P. 26.2(a)(2).

Therefore, Barbour had until February 6, 2008, to file a notice of appeal. Hence, the notice of appeal

filed February 22, 2008, is untimely and we are without jurisdiction to hear this case.

       We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                               Bailey C. Moseley
