Jerry Blancett v. State

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-07-00087-CR Jerry Blancett, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee From the 85th District Court Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 03-00002-CRF-85 MEMORANDUM Opinion Jerry Blancett filed his notice of appeal more than three years after he was convicted. Therefore, the notice of appeal is untimely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). The Clerk of this Court notified Blancett that the appeal may be dismissed unless a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal was filed within twenty-one days. Blancett has filed a response, but his response does not show any basis for this Court to exercise jurisdiction.[1] Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Fowler v. State, 16 S.W.3d 426, 428 (Tex. App.—Waco 2000, pet. ref’d). PER CURIAM Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Vance, and Justice Reyna Appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed May 9, 2007 Do not publish [CR25] [1] Blancett did not serve a copy of the response on opposing counsel either. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5.
