On Motion for Rehearing
Appellee has sent to the clerk of this court, through the United States mail, her motion for rehearing. Our judgment was rendered March 17, 1950. The fifteen day period for filing motion 'for rehearing, Rule *552458, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, expired April first. The envelope in which the motion for rehearing was sent was postmarked Dallas, Texas, April first, and the motion was delivered to our clerk on April third.
Since the motion was not filed by April first, or deposited in the mail and the envelope postmarked one day or more before the last day for filing, Rule 5, T.R.C.P., as amended by order effective March 1, 1950, we have no option but to deny appellee permission to file the motion. We have no authority to extend the time for filing. Reynolds v. Dallas County, 146 Tex. 372, 207 S.W.2d 362; Winter v. Hamilton, Tex.Civ.App., 214 S.W.2d 330, 336.
