                     MEMORANDUM
OPINION
 
               Before
Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza
                       Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
 
Appellant, CURTIS EDWARDS, attempted to perfect an
appeal from a judgment entered by the 148th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. 
Sentence in this cause was imposed on February 24, 2006.  No timely motion for new trial was
filed.  The notice of appeal was due to
be filed on March 27, 2006, but was not filed until April 3, 2006.  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Do not publish.
