                                         On
Appeal from the 244th District Court
 
                                                           Ector
  County, Texas
 
                                                 Trial
Court Cause No. C-33,037

P I N I O N
The jury convicted Ramon Calderon Garcia of
driving while intoxicated as a subsequent offense, found an enhancement
allegation to be true, and sentenced him to confinement for ten years.  Sentence was imposed in open court on
November 2, 2006.  Appellant filed a
notice of appeal on March 20, 2007, 138 days after the date the sentence was
imposed.  On March 22, 2007, appellant filed
a motion to extend time in which to file his notice of appeal.  A motion for new trial was not filed.




Neither the notice of appeal nor the motion for
extension of time were timely filed.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2, 26.3.  Absent a timely notice of appeal or
compliance with Rule 26.3, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an
appeal.  Slaton v. State, 981
S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1996); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993);
Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).  Appellant may be able to secure an
out-of-time appeal by filing a postconviction writ pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07
(Vernon 2005).
The motion is overruled, and the appeal is dismissed.
