MATTHEW DILLON WHITMIRE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

On Appeal from the 75th District Court
Liberty County, Texas

Trial Court No. 24638

 MEMORANDUM OPINION

	On October 9, 2008, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not appear
to have been timely filed.  The appellant filed a reply to our correspondence.  On January 31,
2006, the trial court signed an order to withhold funds from Whitmire's inmate trust account. 
See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 501.014 (Vernon 2004).  If the order was appealable, (1) notice
of appeal was due to be filed on March 2, 2006.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1.  Appellant filed
notice of appeal on September 22, 2008, more than thirty days  from the date of the order and
outside the time for which we may grant an extension of time to perfect appeal. See Tex. R.
App. P. 26.3.  This Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. 
	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
