OPINION[1]
 
      ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
 
Robert Solis is attempting to
appeal the trial court=s judgment
dismissing his lawsuit against Joseph C. Boyle, Richard Wathan, Mary Jo
Ballard, and John Black.  We dismiss the
appeal for want of jurisdiction.

The trial court=s judgment was signed on March 23, 2006, and a motion to set aside the
judgment was filed on April 24, 2006. 
Therefore, appellant=s notice of appeal was due on June 21, 2006 but was not filed until
August 14, 2006.[2]
On August 16, 2006, we
notified appellant by letter of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over
the appeal because his notice of appeal was untimely and that his appeal would
be dismissed unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the
appeal.[3]  Appellant=s response to our jurisdiction letter does not state grounds for
continuing the appeal.  Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.[4]
