                            Dallas County, Texas

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Nowell, and Evans
                            Opinion by Justice Evans
      This appeal challenges the trial court’s March 25, 2019 judgment. Because

appellant timely filed what might be construed as a motion for new trial, the notice

of appeal was due no later than June 24, 2019 or, with an extension motion, July 9,

2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.1(a), 26.3. The notice of appeal, however, was

not filed until September 17, 2019.

      At our request, the parties filed jurisdictional letter briefs. Brashear v.

Victoria Gardens of McKinney, 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no
pet.) (op. on reh’g) (timely filing of notice of appeal is jurisdictional). Nothing in

appellant’s letter brief, however, demonstrates our jurisdiction. Accordingly, as the

notice of appeal was untimely, we lack jurisdiction and dismiss the appeal. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Brashear, 302 S.W.3d at 545.
