                     Before Justices
Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo
                                       Opinion Per Curiam
 

Appellant, GABRIEL
ALVAREZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 24th District Court of Victoria County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on April 19, 2002.  An untimely
motion for new trial was filed on September 16, 2002.   The notice of appeal was due to be filed on May 20, 2002, but was not filed until September 16,
2002.   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 and a motion requesting an
extension of time 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Do not publish.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 14th
day of November, 2002.
