MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

	Appellant, MICHAEL GOODE, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment
entered by the County Court of Lavaca County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was
imposed on March 27, 2007.  No timely motion for new trial was filed.   The notice
of appeal was due to be filed on April 26, 2007, but was not filed until April 27,
2007.   Said notice of appeal is untimely filed.  Appellant filed an untimely motion to
permit late filing of the notice of appeal on May 17, 2007.
	Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension
of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within  fifteen days of the last
day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals
reasonably explaining the need for such extension.  Appellant failed to file his notice
of appeal and motion requesting an extension of time within such period. 
	The Court, having considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely
perfect his appeal, and appellant's untimely motion, is of the opinion that the appeal
should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Appellant's untimely motion to permit
late filing of notice of appeal is dismissed.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR
WANT OF JURISDICTION.

Memorandum Opinion delivered and 
filed this the 7th day of June, 2007.
