     WERRINGTON HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee

                  On Appeal from the 295th District Court
                          Harris County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. 2022-01298

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an attempted appeal from a default judgment signed March 13, 2023.
No post-judgment motion was filed. Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed June
14, 2023.

      The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the judgment is
signed when appellant has not filed a timely post-judgment motion. See Tex. R.
App. P. 26.1
      Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed timely. A motion to extend time is
necessarily implied when an appellant, acting in good faith, files a notice of appeal
beyond the time allowed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.1, but within
the 15-day grace period provided by Rule 26.3 for filing a motion to extend time.
See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617–18 (1997) (construing the
predecessor to Rule 26). Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed within the
15-day period provided by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.3.

      On June 29, 2023, we notified the parties that the appeal was subject to
dismissal without further notice for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.
42.3(a). Appellant filed no response.

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Spain.
