HENRY M. PORTER, JR. AND JAMES HAROLD PORTER APPELLANTS v. WISE COUNTY, TEXAS APPELLEE


FROM THE 271ST DISTRICT COURT OF WISE COUNTY


MEMORANDUM OPINION

The trial court signed a final judgment in favor of Appellee Wise County, Texas on July 8, 2013, and Appellants Henry M. Porter Jr. and James Harold Porter filed a notice of appeal from that judgment on December 4, 2013. Because the notice of appeal was untimely, see Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, we notified Appellants that the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless they filed with the court a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Appellants filed a response, arguing that they did not receive notice of the trial court's judgment, but Appellants are not entitled to an extension pursuant to rule 4.2 (because the period to file the notice of appeal could not have begun more than ninety days after the judgment was signed), and Appellants do not indicate that they are attempting to file a restricted appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 4.2, 30. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

PER CURIAM PANEL: MEIER, J.; LIVINGSTON, C.J.; and GABRIEL, J.

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
