MICHAEL OKPAMEN AND AMAZING GRACE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC., Appellants v. DANIEL OSUAGWU, CATHERINE OSUAGWU, LARRY EWEKA AND LUCKY HEALTH CARE SERVICES, INC., Appellees
On Appeal from the 234th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2011-67278
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed January 27, 2014. Appellants filed a timely motion for new trial on February 26, 2014. Appellants' notice of appeal was filed May 30, 2014.
When appellants have filed a timely post-judgment motion, the notice of appeal must be filed within 90 days after the date the judgment is signed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a).
Appellants' notice of appeal was not filed timely. A motion for extension of time is necessarily implied when an appellant, acting in good faith, files a notice of appeal beyond the time allowed by Rule 26.1, but within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 26.3 for filing a motion for extension of time. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617-18 (1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26). Appellants' notice of appeal was not filed within the fifteen-day period provided by Rule 26.3
On July 1, 2014, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court's intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellants' response fails to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Busby, and Wise.
