Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Jeno Dewayne Jackson attempts to appeal his conviction for aggravated sexual
assault of a child.  Jackson pled guilty and was sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment. 
Jackson's sentence was imposed October 25, 2005.  His notice of appeal was filed MayÂ 8,
2006.  We received the clerk's record May 23, 2006, and the supplemental clerk's record
containing Jackson's notice of appeal was received May 30, 2006.  The issue before us
is whether Jackson timely filed his notice of appeal.  We conclude that he did not and
dismiss the attempted appeal for want of jurisdiction.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke this Court's jurisdiction.  Olivo v.
State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  Rule 26.2(a) prescribes the time
period in which a notice of appeal must be filed by a defendant in order to perfect appeal
in a criminal case.  A defendant's notice of appeal is timely if filed within thirty days after
the day sentence is imposed or suspended in open court, or within ninety days after
sentencing if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a); Olivo,
918 S.W.2d at 522.  The record does not contain any motion for new trial.  The last date
Jackson could timely file his notice of appeal was November 28, 2005, thirty days after the
day the sentence was imposed in open court.
  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).  Further, no
motion for extension of time was filed in this Court within fifteen days of the last day
allowed for filing the notice of appeal.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Jackson has failed to perfect his appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
want of jurisdiction.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Donald R. Ross

OPINION
Â 
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  James
Dixon Graves, Jr., appeals from his conviction by a jury in this cause on one
charge of aggravated sexual assault of a disabled individual for which he
received a sentence of seventy-five years in the Texas Department of Criminal
JusticeÂInstitutional Division to run concurrently with his other convictions.[1]Â  Graves has filed a single brief in which he
raises issues common to all of his appeals.Â 
He argues that the trial court erred in denying the following:Â  (1)Â his motion to suppress the evidence;
(2) his request for funds to hire an expert; (3)Â his request to have the
victim examined by the expert as to her disability and competency to testify;
and (4) his motion for mistrial.Â  Graves
also complains that the evidence was insufficient to establish that the victim met
the definition of ÂdisabledÂ under the Texas Penal Code.Â  
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  We
addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on GravesÂs appeal
in cause number 06-09-00063-CR.Â  For the
reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown in
this case.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  We
affirm the judgment.
