                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                           Before Justices Fillmore, Evans, and Lewis
                                   Opinion by Justice Evans
       Before the Court is appellee’s unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal.          Appellee
contends the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction because appellant failed to
timely file her notice of appeal. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court lacks
jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b).
       The judgment was signed on April 3, 2014. Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial.
Accordingly, the notice of appeal was due on July 2, 2014, ninety days after the date the
judgment was signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). Appellant filed her notice of appeal on
August 5, 2014, more than thirty days past the deadline. Accordingly, we grant appellant’s
motion and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
