                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Tony Monshey Saddler filed a notice of appeal on May 1, 2018. On May 7,

2018, we notified the parties and copied the district clerk of the trial court, and the

trial court that the trial court certification was missing. We received an Amended

Clerk’s Notice of Appeal indicating that Saddler had not yet been sentenced and no

appealable order has been signed by the trial court. On September 7, 2018, we

notified the parties that unless the appellant filed a response within fifteen days



                                          1
establishing that an appealable order was entered, the case would be dismissed.

Saddler did not file a response.

      In a criminal case, the time for filing the notice of appeal from a conviction

commences on the date the appellant is sentenced in open court. See Tex. R. App. P.

26.2. That event has not occurred. The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
