IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-15-00183-CR
CARLTON BRANTNER, Appellant v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 87th District Court Freestone County, Texas Trial Court No. 15-001-CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Carlton Eugene Brantner’s pro se notice of appeal was filed on May 21, 2015. The imposition of sentence was on January 22, 2015, and the plea-bargained judgment of conviction for continuous sexual abuse of a young child was signed the same day. Brantner’s notice of appeal is untimely, and we have no jurisdiction of an untimely appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (no appellate jurisdiction where notice of appeal is untimely).
Also, Brantner signed a waiver of his right to appeal, and the trial court’s certification of defendant’s right to appeal in this case states that Brantner waived his right to appeal and that this is a plea-bargain case and Brantner has no right of appeal. This appeal is therefore dismissed.1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“A court of appeals … must dismiss a prohibited appeal without further action, regardless of the basis for the appeal.”); Davis v. State, 205 S.W.3d 606, 607 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, no pet.).
