Jeffrey Lynn Lewis v. State

Summary

The Texas Court of Appeals, Second District, dismissed Jeffrey Lynn Lewis's appeal for want of jurisdiction because his notice of appeal was filed more than a year after the deadline. The court held that neither a timely notice of appeal nor a timely extension request was filed.

Holdings

1. The court lacked appellate jurisdiction because Lewis did not timely file his notice of appeal.
2. Lewis's request for an extension of time did not preserve jurisdiction because it was filed more than a year after the fifteen-day deadline and was procedurally defective.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court of appeals had jurisdiction over an appeal when the notice of appeal was filed more than a year after the applicable deadline.
2. Whether Lewis's request for an extension of time could preserve appellate jurisdiction despite being untimely and procedurally defective.

Disposition

dismissed
