In the
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

                  No. 06-23-00014-CV

        CHARLES R. JOHNSON, SR., Appellant

                            V.

        KINETIC BY WINDSTREAM, Appellee

         On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
                 Bowie County, Texas
             Trial Court No. 21C0612-202

      Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
        Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rambin
                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On January 11, 2022, the trial court entered a traditional summary judgment in favor of

Windstream Services, LLC, improperly sued as Kinetic by Windstream, against Charles R.

Johnson, Sr. Because Johnson did not file any motion or request that would extend the deadline

to file a notice of appeal, the notice of appeal was due February 10, 2022, thirty days after the

judgment was signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). Johnson filed his notice of appeal on

February 17, 2023, making it untimely by over one year.

       By letter dated March 9, 2023, we notified Johnson of this jurisdictional defect and

afforded him the opportunity to demonstrate our jurisdiction over the appeal, notwithstanding the

noted defect. Johnson filed a response to our letter, but that response failed to demonstrate this

Court’s jurisdiction over this attempted appeal. Consequently, we are without jurisdiction over

the appeal.

       In light of the foregoing, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
