Appellant

v.

The State of Texas,
Appellee

On appeal from the
County Court at Law of Navarro County, Texas
Judge Ernie Armstrong, presiding
Trial Court Cause No. C42965-CR

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant appeals from a judgment for which his sentences were

imposed on November 19, 2025 and signed by the trial court on that same date.

Trial counsel for Appellant filed a motion for new trial on December 4, 2025.

Trial counsel for Appellant filed a notice of appeal in the trial court on March

2, 2026, which was not received by this Court until March 12, 2026.
As applicable to this proceeding, the notice of appeal must have been

filed within 90 days after the sentence is imposed or suspended in open court

because his counsel filed a motion for new trial. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(2). The

notice of appeal was not timely.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(2).
