The opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-05-00756-CR
Paul Michael Brown, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 953380, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
In August 1995, Paul Michael Brown was convicted of engaging in organized
criminal activity and sentenced to fifty years in prison. In November 2005, Brown filed a “motion
requesting trial court’s permission to seek out-of-time appeal.” The motion was treated as a notice
of appeal and forwarded to this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(e).
It is obviously too late to perfect a direct appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). We
also note that the trial court has certified that this is a plea bargain case and Brown has no right of
appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). If Brown is entitled to an out-of-time appeal, it must be granted
by the court of criminal appeals in a post-conviction habeas corpus proceeding. See Tex. Code Crim.
Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West 2005).
The appeal is dismissed.
