Opinion Delivered and Filed April 28, 2005. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
On appeal from the 177th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
Before Justices RODRIGUEZ, CASTILLO, and GARZA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, JOHN BRISCOE, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 177th District Court of Harris County, Texas. Sentence in this cause was imposed on February 17, 1995. The notice of appeal was due to be filed on March 19, 1995, but was not filed until January 3, 2005. Said notice of appeal is untimely filed. Tex.R.App.P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals reasonably explaining the need for such extension. Appellant failed to file his notice of appeal and a motion requesting an extension of time within such period. The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
