MEMORANDUM OPINION


Jeffrey Eugene Skinner was convicted of speeding in a trial de novo in the County Criminal Court of Appeals. On January 16, 2007, punishment was assessed at a $190 fine. Appellant filed a motion for new trial; therefore, his notice of appeal was due by April 16, 2007. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on April 17, 2007, within the fifteen-day period provided by rule 26.3, but did not file an extension motion in this Court within that same fifteen-day period. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. See Because appellant's notice of appeal was untimely, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998) (per curiam); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Nor did appellant respond to our June 7, 2007 letter directing the parties to file briefs addressing our jurisdiction. The State filed a letter brief asserting that we have no jurisdiction because the notice of appeal is untimely.
