On Appeal from the 215th District Court

Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2009-60324 
 

 
M E M O R
A N D U M   O P I N I O N
This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed November
23, 2010.  No motion for new trial was filed.  Appellant=s notice of appeal was filed March
16, 2011.
The notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after
the judgment is signed when appellant has not filed a timely motion for new
trial, motion to modify the judgment, motion to reinstate, or request for findings
of fact and conclusion of law.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1.  Appellant=s notice of appeal was not filed
timely. A motion for extension of time is necessarily implied when an
appellant, acting in good faith, files a notice of appeal beyond the time allowed
by rule 26.1, but within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 26.3 for
filing a motion for extension of time.  See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959
S.W.2d 615, 617-18 (1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26).  Appellant=s notice of appeal was not filed
within the fifteen-day period provided by rule 26.3
On May 31, 2011, notification was transmitted to all parties
of the court=s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.3(a).  Appellant=s response to that notification fails
to demonstrate that this Court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
