                      On Appeal from the County Criminal Court No. 11

                           Trial Court Cause No. MAI 1-04764-N


                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices FitzGerald, Murphy, and Fillmore
                                 Opinion By Justice FitzGerald

       Kwaku Owirodu was convicted of assault involving family violence. Punishment was

assessed at 365 days’ confinement in jail and was imposed in open court on February 1, 2012. No

motion for new trial was filed therefore, appellant’s notice of appeal was due by March 2. 2012.

See TEx. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(l). Appellant filed his notice of appeal on March 26, 2012, outside both

the thirty-day period provided by rule 26.2(a)( 1) and the fifteen-day extension period provided by

rule 26.3. See TEx. R. App. P. 26.3. Appellants untimely notice of appeal leaves us without

jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per

curiam).
       We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
