No. 02-08-392-CV (Tex. App. Nov. 20, 2008)

Opinion

No. 02-08-392-CV

Delivered: November 20, 2008.

Appealed from Criminal District Court No. 1 of Tarrant County.

PANEL: DAUPHINOT, HOLMAN, and GARDNER, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant Jim Shaw attempts to appeal from the trial court's judgment signed June 20, 2008. Appellant timely filed a motion for new trial, which extended the appellate deadline; his notice of appeal was therefore due September 18, 2008. But he did not file a notice of appeal until October 3, 2008.

See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(1) (providing that notice of appeal must be filed within ninety days after the judgment is signed if a motion for new trial is filed).

On October 7, 2008, we notified Appellant that his appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless, by October 17, 2008, he filed a response showing a reasonable explanation for the late filing of the notice of appeal. No response has been filed. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 26.3; Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).

See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
