Otis GREER, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1992CR1623W
Judge Mike M. Machado, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Otis Greer has filed a notice of appeal from his 1992 conviction for aggravated sexual assault. The trial court imposed a life sentence on May 1, 1992; Greer's notice of appeal was due thirty days later on June 1, 1992. Greer filed his notice of appeal on December 28, 2018.
Because the notice of appeal in this case was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction to entertain the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (holding that if appeal is not timely perfected, court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address merits of appeal, and court may take no action other than to dismiss appeal; court may not suspend rules to alter time for perfecting appeal).
