The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““The phrase ‘good cause,’ as used in Article 44.08(e), V.A.C.C.P. authorizing the trial court to permit the giving of late notice of appeal, necessarily implies that such a finding will be based upon sufficient evidence. When the trial court does permit the giving'of a late notice of appeal it is subject to the review of this court to determine whether ‘good cause’ has been shown. Evidence in the record must support the trial court’s order. The supportive evidence should be by affidavit or sworn testimony. “This record does not contain an affidavit or sworn testimony supporting the trial court’s order granting delayed notice of appeal. In the absence of supporting evidence in the record, we cannot determine whether ‘good cause’ was shown in support of the order granting delayed notice of appeal.””
