                                          S    In The
                                  Court of Appeals

                                    V.
                        THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                         On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
                           Before Justices O’Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans
                                      Opinion by Justice Evans
       Sherrelle Williamson and K. Barrett Townsend filed their notice of appeal in this case within

the fifteen-day extension period allowed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.3, but without the

required extension motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 26.3; Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615 (Tex.

1997). Because the timely filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional, we directed Williamson and

Townsend to file the extension motion and explain the reason for the late filing. See TEX. R. APP. P.

10.1, 25.1, 26.1. More than ten days have passed and Williamson and Townsend have neither filed the

motion nor otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id.

42.3(a).
