Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 of Wichita County.
Panel D: GARDNER, WALKER, and McCOY, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4.
Appellant Ronald Kennedy, pro se, attempts to appeal from the trial court's order dismissing as frivolous his claims against Appellees. The trial court signed the order of dismissal on April 4, 2006, but Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until August 4, 2006, long after the applicable deadline. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1.
On August 7, 2006, we notified Appellant that we would dismiss this appeal unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response by August 17, 2006. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). We have received no response.
The times for filing a notice of appeal are jurisdictional in this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b), 26.1; Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). Because Appellant's notice of appeal was not timely filed, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
