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
MEMORANDUM OPINION
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.
