On appeal from the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, ABELARDO B. URQUIZO, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 02-4829-G. Judgment in this cause was signed on December 5, 2003. Pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 26.1, appellant's notice of appeal was due on January 5, 2004, but was not filed until February 24, 2005.
Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the appeal would be dismissed. To date, no response has been received from appellant.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
