No. 13-07-246-CR

Opinion delivered and filed September 20, 2007. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

On appeal from the 36th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas.

Before Justices RODRIGUEZ, BENAVIDES, and VELA.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant, JUAN FRANCISCO LUNA, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 36th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas. Sentence in this cause was imposed on June 28, 2007. No timely motion for new trial was filed. The notice of appeal was due to be filed on July 30, 2007, but was not filed until August 3, 2007. 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.
