MEMORANDUM OPINION

After appellant, Juan Jose Garcia, pleaded guilty to the second-degree felony offense of aggravated assault—deadly weapon, with an agreed punishment recommendation of ten years’ confinement, the trial court assessed his punishment at ten years’ confinement on March 17, 2011.1 The trial court later granted appellant’s request for shock probation, suspended his prison sentence, and placed him on community supervision for a period of ten years on August 10, 2011. After a hearing on the State’s motion to revoke appellant’s probated sentence, the trial court revoked appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated his guilt, and assessed his punishment at ten years’ confinement on January 22, 2018.2 The trial court certified appellant’s right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant requested and was appointed counsel on March 20, 2018. However, appellant did not file his pro se notice of appeal until May 7, 2018.3 We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction and dismiss the motion to withdraw as moot.

A criminal defendant’s notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the sentence is imposed, or within ninety days after the sentence is imposed if the defendant has timely filed a motion for new trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). The time for filing a notice of appeal may be extended if, within fifteen days of the deadline for filing the notice of appeal, an appellant files both a notice of appeal and a motion for an extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P.

26.3; Douglas v. State, 987 S.W.2d 605, 606 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.) (“The limited, 15-day extended time period applies to both the notice and the motion for extension; both must be filed within the 15-day time period.”). A notice of appeal that complies with the requirements of Rule 26 is essential to vest the court of appeals with jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522–23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). If an appeal is not timely perfected, a court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address the merits of the appeal. See Slaton, 981 S.W.2d at 210.

Here, the trial court signed appellant’s judgment revoking community supervision on January 22, 2018, and imposed the sentence that day. Appellant did not timely file a motion for new trial, making his notice of appeal due by February 21, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed until May 7, 2018, more than thirty days after his sentence was imposed and, thus, was filed untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3; Douglas, 987 S.W.2d at 606. Thus, under these circumstances, we can take no action other than to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.^[4] See Slaton, 981 S.W.2d at 210; Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 526.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). We dismiss all pending motions as moot.
