Jesse Lee Drones,
Appellant

v.

The State of Texas,
Appellee

On appeal from the
278th District Court of Walker County, Texas
Judge Erwin Ernst, presiding
Trial Court Cause No. 20,028-C

JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Jesse Lee Drones appeals from a judgment of conviction imposed and

signed by the trial court on May 22, 2002.

This Court informed Drones by letter from the Clerk dated April 14,

2025, that it appears that the notice of appeal was untimely. The Clerk further

informed Willis that the appeal would be dismissed unless a response was filed

showing grounds to continue the appeal no later than April 28, 2025.
Drones did not respond to the Clerk’s letter. We find that the notice of

appeal was not timely. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of

jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2.
