Opinion

Anthony George NELSON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016CR2179
Honorable Steve Hilbig, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant has filed a motion to vacate, challenging, again, his conviction. However, our opinion and judgment in this appeal issued on June 11, 2017. A motion for rehearing was therefore due fifteen days later, and a motion for extension of time to file the motion for rehearing was due within fifteen days of the deadline for filing the motion for rehearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1, 49.8. Because no timely motion for rehearing was filed, our plenary power to change or modify our opinion and judgment expired sixty days after we issued our opinion and judgment. See id. R. 19.1(a), 19.3. The motion for rehearing was not filed until June 14, 2018. We lack jurisdiction to consider the motion for rehearing. Accordingly, the motion for rehearing is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Sanchez v. State, 376 S.W.3d 767, 769 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012) (op. on reh'g) (dismissing out of time motion for rehearing for want of jurisdiction).
