ADOLFO ALEMAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-0939130
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Nowell
This appeal from the trial court's April 19, 2010 "order on defendant's court fees" was filed nine years after the order was signed, on April 22, 2019. Because an appeal must generally be filed within thirty days from the date the judgment is signed, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1; Brashear v. Victoria Gardens of McKinney, L.L.C., 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.) (op. on reh'g) (timely filing of notice of appeal is jurisdictional). We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern and cautioned him that failure to comply by June 17, 2019 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). To date, appellant has not responded. Accordingly, lacking jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).
