MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012TA101906
Honorable Richard Price, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant attempts to appeal from a final judgment signed on August 29, 2016. The notice of appeal, however, was not filed until February 24, 2017, well after the prescribed time limit for perfecting appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 26.3. "[O]nce the period for granting a motion for extension of time under Rule [26.3] has passed, a party can no longer invoke the appellate court's jurisdiction." See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26); In re Estate of Padilla, 103 S.W.3d 563, 567 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.); Grondoma v. Sutton, 991 S.W.2d 90, 93 (Tex. App.—Austin 1998, pet. denied).
Accordingly, on April 27, 2017, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
