MORRISON, Judge.

This is an attempted appeal from a death penalty conviction for ‍​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍the offense of murder. This is the same case as our Cause No. 37,007, this day decided, Tex.Cr., 383 S.W. 2d 587, from ‍​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍which it will appear that no notice of appeal was given during the term of court at which relator was convicted.

Though this ‍​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍Court has many times refused to affirm a death penalty case where ho statement of facts has been filed and has considered ‍​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍statements of facts filed long after the time provided by the statute had expired, we are without jurisdiction to entertain an appeal ‍​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍in the absence of a timely notice of appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.
