RENEE HARRIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 263rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 956853
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The trial court sentenced appellant, Renee Harris, and signed a final judgment
in this case on March 25, 2004. Harris did not file a motion for new trial, and therefore the deadline for filing notice of
appeal was Monday, April 26, 2004, because the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend. Tex. R. App. P.
4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).

Harris filed a notice of appeal on August 13, 2004, more than three months after the deadline. An untimely notice of
appeal fails to vest the appellate court with jurisdiction to hear the case. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Taft, Jennings, and Bland.
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
