On August 21st, 2017, the Eighth District of Texas, issued its MANDATE in the above numbered and styled cause. See Appendix.
*11 In Texas, as in many other jurisdictions, a defendant may not be convicted for a completed sexual assault by penetration and also for conduct (such as exposure or contact) that is demonstrably and inextricably part of that single sexual assault. With these guiding principles in mind, we turn to the double-jeopardy issue in this case. The Fifth Amendment provides, "No person shall...be subject for.the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb[.] In. North Carolina v. Pearce, the Supreme Court stated that the guarantee against double jeopardy consists of three separate Constitutional protections; first, it protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal; second, it protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction; and third, it protects against multiple punishments for the same offense. A multiple punishment double-jeopardy violation may arise either in the context of lesser-included offense (when the same conduct is punished under both a greater and a lesser-included statutory ofense) or when the same criminal act is punished under two distinct statutory provisions, but the legislature intended only one punishment. Blockberger, 284 U.S. at 304; Ex parte Amador, 326 S.W. 3d 202, 206 n.5, (Tex. Crim. App. 2010).
A double-jeopardy violation occurs if one is convicted or punished for two or more offenses that are the same both in law and in fact. Id. Garfias v. State, 424 S.W. 3d 54, 58 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). See Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299, 304, 52 S.Ct. 180, 76 L. Ed. 306 (1932). 447 S.W. 3d 270 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014)."In a jury trial MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 1 On appeal from the 142nd District Court, Midland County, Texas On appeal from the 243rd District Court, El Paso County, Texas (sentencing phase).
*12
the empaneling and swearing of the jury panel is the point at which jeopardy attaches. In a bench trial, jeopardy attaches when the defendant pleads to the charging instrument and the court accepts the plea". Harvey v. State, 367 S,W, 3d 513, 515 (Tex. App. Texarkana, 2012, pet. ref'd).
The question here is whether Ten-Counts of Appellant's convictions for indecency with a child are the same, for double-jeopardy purposes, as Ten of his convictions for aggravated sexual assault of a child. In the double-jeopardy context, there are two different analysis for determining the "sameness" of offenses: an "elementš" analysis and a "units" analysis. When the offenses at issue are codified in two distint statutory provisions, the offenses must be considered the same under both analysis for a double-jeopardy violation to occur.
The offenses at issues in this case, are the same under the "elements" analysis, they are also the same under the "units" analysis, the offenses are considered the same for double-jeopardy violation.
ELEMENTS
The Court held that the offenses of indecency with a child and aggravated sexual assault of a child are the same under an elements analysis, and a units analysis.Appellant's claim, therefore succeeds on this aspect of the double-jeopardy analysis. Blockberger v. U.S. 284 U.S. 299, 52 S.Ct. 180, 176 L.Ed. 306 (1932).
UNITS
A "units" analysis consists of two parts: (1) what the allowable unit of prosecution is, and (2) how many units have been shown. The first part of the analysis is purely a question of statutory construction and generally requires ascertaining the focus or gravamen of the offense. The second part requires an examination of the trial record, MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 2
*13 which can include the evidence presented at trial. (Outcry State-: ments, "Same Day" April 16th, 1989).
District Attorney first indictment, had included only "initial's" in the Ten-counts based on different days. (hung jury).
The State`s reindictment of the "Same Complainants", with their real names--again different dates, even though the sworn "Outcry Statements were based on the same date. April 16th, 1989. These discrete acts occured on the same day (April 16th, 1989), and are the same, therefore, constituting only one allowable units of prosecution.
1 "[T]he Blockerburger test saet up a presumption in a multiple-statute elements inquiry...If offenses under different statutes all the 'same' elemtally, then a units analysis could be appropriate if, the pleading or the evidence indicates that there are different victims")."
2 Blockerburger, 284 U.S. at 303; Hawkins, 6 S.W. 3d at 557 n. 8 (discussing Blockburger and units of prosecution); Goodbread, 967 S.W. 2d at 860 ("For Double Jeopardy purposes, the same offense means the identical criminal act, not the same offense by name...When one cannot determine from the State`s pleadings, whether the offenses prosecuted are the same, the court must look to the proof offered at trial".) (citing and quoting favorably from Luna v. State, 493 S.W. 2d 854 (Tex. Crim. App. 1973)); id. at 861 (we look to evidence at trial to determine what instances of conforming to the indictment are jeopardy-barred); Aekins v. State, 447 S.W. 3d 270, 285 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); quoting 461 S.W. 3d at 144 (Tex. Crim. App. 2015).
The first, less famous, Blockberger test asks whether each criminal act is a separate and distinct one, separated by time. If the offense is a single continuous act, with a single impluse, in which several different statutory provisions are necessarily violated along that continuum, the offenses merge together.("The purpose of merger is to avoid double punishment for a single wrongdoing".); People v. Henderson, MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 3
*14 810 P. 2d 1058, 1060 (Colo. 1991)(analysis of whether convictions should be merged must be based on double-jeopardy principles). See Garfias, 424 S.W. 3d at 58. ("a ^units" analysis is employed when the offenses are alternative means of committing the same offensèy. Loving v. State, 401 S.W. 3d 642, 645-46 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). This is variously called "The Merger Doctrine", "The Single Impluse Doctrine", or here in Texas, "The Doctrine of Subsumed Acts". If more than one statutory offense is necessarily committed by that single criminal act and impluse, then the offense merge and the defendant may be punished only once. This "Single Impluse" aspect of Blockburger is United States Supreme Court Law, not some peculiar doctrine thought up by Texas Judges. We are not permitted to ignore or denigrate it. As a lower court, we are bound by Supreme Court reasoning on Federal Constitutional issues. id. 447 S.W. 3d 270 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Though portions of the record of the prior trial may indicate that the State "focused" on the first and last incidents of penetration and that, if forced to elect, it probally would have picked these two incidents, the record nevertheless reflects that the jury was still authorized to convict appellant based on the other incidents of penetration. It is impossible to determine with any certainty which specific incidents of penetration that the jury actually was uncertain (Mistrial) and could not decide in the prior trial, it did not do so with the required specificity. If, as in this case, a reviewing court finds itself in the position of having to guess whether the State made an election, then it should decide that there was no election. Tex. R. App. Proc. 33.1(a)(1)(A)(prerequisite for presenting complaint for appellate review requires party to make timely request with sufficient specificity MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 4
*15
to make trial court aware of the request). There were no election in prior trial. The jury was (hung), whether the prior prosecutor was vindictive, at the least, in losing this case, and that this type of case that requires this Court to quite simply, grant the PDR, because the manner and means are the same, time period is the same (April 16th, 1989), even though the ADA had stated different dates, the evidence (Outcry Statements state April 16th, 1989). In this case, appellant
s counsel did not demand an election in the prior trial, or the second trial, at the close of the State
s evidence, or at any other time. Phillips, 193 S.W. 3d at 909. See Tex. R. App. Proc. 44.2(a), (b).
THE GRAND JURY'S INDICTMENT: By a Ten-Count indictment, a Midland County grand jury =charged appellant with indecency with a child by contact, indecency with a by exposer, and aggravated sexual assault. TEX. PEN. CODE 21.11(a) (1), (a)(2) (Vernon 2003) &; 22.021(a)(1)(B). June 8th; 1989. The State RE-INDICTMENT HANDED DOWN ON August 23rd, 1989, on another Ten-Count charging defendant with the "Same" counts. "Same^ names, and "same": dates. Indictments attached: See Appendix.
Furthermore, In 1989, appellant was convicted on 10 counts of committing sexual offenses in the summer of 1989. Before September 1, 1993, Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. Art. 38.07, specified that a victim`s testimony about a sexual offense could not support a conviction unless corroborated by other evidence or the victim informed another person of the offense within six months of its occurrence, but that, if a victim was under 14 at the time of the offense, the victim testimony alone could support a conviction. An amendment to a Texas statute that went into effect on September 1, 1993, authorized conviction of certain MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 5
*16 sexual offenses on the victim`s testimony alone. Carme11 v. Texas, 120 S.Ct. 1620 (2000).

On May 25th, 2004, the 243rd District Court of El Paso County, Texas found defendant guilty, and sentencing him to life.
Appellant argues that the sentencing range on his two-count indictment carried a sentencing range of 2-20 years. The Court found his priors to be true--and enhancement his punishment.
Other than the fact of a prior conviction, any fact that increases the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be submitted to a jury, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt. With that exception, it is unconstitutional for a legislature to remove from the jury the assessment of f facts that increase the prescribed range of penalties to which a criminal defendant is exposed. It is equally clear that such facts must be established by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Ex parte Watkins, 52 S.W. 3d 858, 2001 (Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 3821 (Fort Worth 2001). Reporter; 73 S.W. 3d 264 ; 2002, Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 70 *.
The doctrine of collateral estoppel is embodied within the constitutional bar against double jeopardy. But the two are not identical. Double Jeopardy bars any retrial of a criminal offense. While collateral estoppel bars any retrial of specific and discrete facts that have been fully and fairly adjudicated. Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436, 443, 25 L.Ed. 2d 469, 90 S.Ct. 1189 (1970).
The rights conferred on a criminal accused by the Double Jeopardy Clause would be significantly undermined if appellate review of double jeopardy claims were po'stponed until after conviction and sentence. To be sure, the Double Jeopardy Clause protects against MEMORANDUM OF LAW, IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW-Page 7
*18 being twice convicted for the same crime, and that aspect of the right can be fully vindicated on appeal following final judgment. However, the Double Jeopardy Clause protects an individual against more than being subjected to double punishments. It is a guarantee against being twice put to trial for the same offense. Ashe, 397 U.S. at 443; State v. Lee, 15 S.W. 3d 921, 929 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). A collateral estoppel claim is based on double jeopardy principles when the State could, but declines to, join two or more offenses which arise out of a single transaction and a final verdict or specific factual finding favorable to the defendant in the first prosecution would bar relitigation of the same fact in a second proceedings. Ex parte Watkins, 52 S.W. 3d 858 (Tex. App. Fort Worth 2001); Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. at 466 (2000).

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Donald Turner is attempting to appeal his convictions of indecency with a child (Counts I and II). A jury found Appellant guilty and the trial court assessed his punishment at life imprisonment. Finding that Appellant did not timely file his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
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). In a criminal case, a defendant's notice of appeal is due within thirty days after the sentence is imposed in open court or the trial court enters an appealable order. See TEX.R.App.P. 26.2(a)(1). The deadline is extended to ninety days after the date the sentence is imposed in open court if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial. See TEX.R.App.P. 26.2(a)(2). The judgment of conviction reflects that the trial court imposed sentence
*22 in open court on May 27, 2004. Appellant appealed to this Court in 2004, and we issued an opinion and judgment affirming his convictions. Turner v. State, No. 08-04-00148-CR, 2006 WL 250482 (Tex.App.--El Paso February 2, 2006, pet. ref'd). The Court of Criminal Appeals denied Appellant's petition for discretionary review on July 26, 2006. Appellant has now filed a new notice of appeal from the same judgment of conviction. We do not have jurisdiction to hear a second appeal from the same judgment. Further, we do not have jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief. The Court of Criminal Appeals has exclusive authority to grant post-conviction relief if the defendant is confined as a result of a final felony conviction. See Tex.Code Crim.Proc.Ann. art. 11.07, § 3 (West 2015); Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991)("We are the only court with jurisdiction in final post-conviction felony proceedings."). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

DONALD ALLEN TURNER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 142nd District Court
Midland County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CRA-16,002
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Donald Allen Turner, Appellant, has filed an untimely notice of appeal in this cause. Appellant attempts to appeal from the adjudication of his guilt with respect to three counts of indecency with a child by contact. We dismiss the appeal.
The documents on file in this case indicate that Appellant's sentence for each count was imposed on November 3, 1993, and that his notice of appeal was filed in the district clerk's office on June 15, 2017. Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a), a
*35
notice of appeal is due to be filed either (1) within thirty days after the date that sentence is imposed in open court or (2) if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial, within ninety days after the date that sentence is imposed in open court. A notice of appeal must be in writing and filed with the clerk of the trial court. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(c)(1). The documents on file in this court reflect that Appellant's notice of appeal was filed with the clerk of the trial court more than twenty-three years after Appellant's sentences were imposed. The notice of appeal was, therefore, untimely. Absent a timely filed notice of appeal or the granting of a timely motion for extension of time, we do not have jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. 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); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108, 110 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).
When the appeal was filed in this court, we notified Appellant by letter that the notice of appeal appeared to be untimely and that the appeal may be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We requested that Appellant respond to our letter and show grounds to continue. Appellant filed a response in which he asserts that he was not afforded effective assistance of counsel during the punishment phase of the adjudication proceeding. We have considered Appellant's response; however, we are without authority to proceed with this appeal. See Slaton, 981 S.W.2d at 210.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
