                                         CORRECTED ORDER1

           This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed June 17, 2014.
Appellant filed an untimely motion to modify the judgment on July 20, 2014. 2 The
notice of appeal was filed September 15, 2014. The notice of appeal must be filed
within thirty days after the judgment is signed when appellant has not filed a

    Our order of September 25, 2014, incorrectly states that the notice of appeal was filed July 20, 2014.

    The motion is dated July 18, 2014, but that too is untimely.
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.

      On October 8, 2014, appellant filed a motion to extend time to file the notice
of appeal. The motion fails to demonstrate the appellate timetable was extended
by the timely filing of a motion for new trial, motion to modify the judgment,
motion to reinstate, or request for findings of fact and conclusion of law.
Accordingly, the notice of appeal was due July 17, 2014.

      The court will consider dismissal of the appeal on its own motion for want
of jurisdiction unless any party files a response on or before December 15, 2014,
showing meritorious grounds for continuing the appeal.
