Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed November 4, 2004.
On appeal from the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.
Before Justices HINOJOSA, YAÑEZ, and GARZA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, RONALD CRENSHAW, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 02-3367-A. Judgment in this cause was signed on October 31, 2003. An untimely motion for new trial was filed on December 10, 2003. Pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 26.1, appellant's notice of appeal was due on December 1, 2003, but was not filed until January 16, 2004.
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. Appellant filed responses to this Court's notice on March 11, 2004 and March 22, 2004; however, said responses fail to correct the defect.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's responses 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.
