MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

------------

Through a letter sent to his counsel on December 16, 2009, we have given appellant Michael S. Polly an opportunity to explain why his notice of appeal was untimely filed
(footnote: 2) and why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  He has not done so.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

FOOTNOTES
1:See 
Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

2:The trial court signed its judgment on July 31, 2009.  Although appellant timely filed a motion for new trial on August 31, he did not file his notice of appeal in the trial court until December 7, and it was therefore untimely.
