                                MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
Jack Robert Grunwald is
attempting to appeal from his conviction for driving while intoxicated.  We dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction.

The trial court signed the
judgment on January 9, 2007.  Although
appellant filed a motion for new trial, it was not timely.  Therefore, appellant=s notice of appeal was due February 8, 2007 but was not filed until
February 9, 2007.[2]  On March 6, 2007, we notified appellant by
letter that his appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction
unless, by March 16, he filed a response showing that his appeal was timely.[3]  No response has been filed.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want
of jurisdiction.[4]
