RONNIE PRICE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 232nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1528933
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant attempts to appeal from an order deferring adjudication of guilt
signed on February 21, 2017.1 Appellant filed his notice of appeal on July 11, 2018.
This notice of appeal is untimely.2
In criminal cases, the appellant must file a notice of appeal “within 30 days
after the day sentence is imposed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). Because the order
appealed was signed on February 21, 2017, the deadline for filing the notice of
appeal was March 23, 2017. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on July 11, 2018,
more than a year too late. Thus, his notice of appeal was not timely filed. Without a
timely-filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dismiss any
pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Brown and Caughey.
Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

` Although the State moved to adjudicate guilt in July 2017, the record, including the
docket sheet with filings through July 18, 2018, shows no order granting this
motion.
2
Additionally, the order of deferred adjudication was the result of a plea bargain
between appellant and the State. The trial court’s certification of defendant’s right
to appeal indicates that appellant has no right to appeal because this is a plea-bargain
case.
