Appeal from Criminal District Court No. 4 of Tarrant County.
PANEL D: DAUPHINOT, HOLMAN, and GARDNER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4.
Appellant Richard Tharpe attempts to appeal from the trial court's judgment signed August 8, 2006. Appellant did not file a postjudgment motion to extend the appellate deadline; his notice of appeal was therefore due September 7, 2006. But he did not file a notice of appeal until November 20, 2006.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (providing that notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the judgment is signed).
Because the notice of appeal was untimely, we sent a letter to Appellant requesting a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, as it appeared we lacked jurisdiction. Appellant's response requesting a continuance did not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1, 26.1 (together providing that appellate court has jurisdiction when notice of appeal is timely).
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
