COURT OF APPEALS 

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS 

CORPUS CHRISTI 
__________________________________________________________________ 

JUAN TORRES, JR., Appellant, 

v. 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee. 
__________________________________________________________________ 

On appeal from the 357th District Court 
of Cameron County, Texas. 
___________________________________________________________________ 

O P I N I O N 

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Chavez 
Opinion Per Curiam 

Appellant, JUAN TORRES, JR. , attempted to perfect an appeal from a
judgment entered by the 357th District Court of Cameron
County, Texas. Sentence in this cause was imposed on May 18, 1999. No
timely motion for new trial was filed. The notice of appeal was due to be
filed on June 17, 1999, but was not filed until March 21,
2000. Said notice of appeal is untimely filed. 
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
within such period. 
The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely
perfect his appeal, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. 
PER CURIAM 
Do not publish. 
Tex. R. App. P. 47.3. 
Opinion delivered and filed this 
the 20th day of April, 2000.
