MEDARDO ENRIQUE RAMIREZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



On Appeal from the 228th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 888324



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.  Appellant was
sentenced in this case on October 15, 2001.  No motion for new trial was filed.  The
deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore November 14, 2001, 30 days after
sentencing.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).
 Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on December 3, 2001, according
to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record.  Because
the notice of appeal was mailed after the filing deadline, it did not comply with Rule
9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule."  See Tex. R. App.
P. 9.2(b).
	We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  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).
	All pending motions are denied as moot.
	It is so ORDERED.

of Texas at Houston, participating by assignment.
