Memorandum Opinion Delivered and Filed September 28, 2006.
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 5 of Hidalgo County, Texas.
Before Chief Justice VALDEZ and Justices YAÑEZ and GARZA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, MANUEL CHAVEZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the County Court at Law No. 5 of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number CL-06-0631-E. Judgment in this cause was signed on June 14, 2006. No timely motion for new trial was filed. Pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 26.1, appellant's notice of appeal was due on July 14, 2006, but was not filed until July 20, 2006.
Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the appeal would be dismissed. To date, no response has been received from appellant.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
